Higher Yield in Strawberry Cultivation with Iran-Made Nanobubble Generators
Engineer Assadi, a strawberry greenhouse owner in Qom province in Central Iran, elaborated on his experience of using nanobubble technology developed by an Iranian technological company, saying, “Using nanotechnology helped us increase the efficiency of strawberry cultivation.”
“The results of our studies showed that using nanobubbles helps to deliver nutrients to the plant and keep the roots healthy. By using this technology, we also observed better plant growth and an increase in product quality. Also the amount of fungicide used during strawberry cultivation reduced,” he added.
Noting that the third flowering of the strawberry plant resulted in weak flowers before using the technology, Assadi said, “But in the greenhouse where the nanobubble technology was used, the third flowering also resulted in very strong flowers.”
Earlier, an Iranian technological company had manufactured a nanobubble system that can increase agricultural productivity by 20 percent.
The system has reduced energy consumption and investment by around 50 percent and 30 percent in water and sewage treatment plants, respectively.
As well as their impact on growth hormones and nutrient absorption genes, nanobubbles, due to hydrophobic and surface charge properties, enhance the release and absorption of soil nutrients, thereby reducing fertilizer demand.
The technology’s distinguishing feature is that it increases the productivity and efficiency of various systems.
It can improve efficiency in agriculture, water, oil and gas, fisheries, and food industries by improving the efficiency of mixing water and liquids.
