Jun 25, 2024Webinar to share water saving potential of nanobubble technology
A new agritech partnership is aiming to help growers achieve increase efficiency, including water savings, utilizing nanobubble technology.
Nanobubble technology supplier Moleaer Inc. is collaborating with Griffin Greenhouse Supplies Inc., one of the largest U.S. horticultural distribution and brokerage companies, to sponsor a July 10 webinar the week before Cultivate 24, North America’s largest horticulture trade show and educational conference.
Nanobubbles are tiny bubbles, invisible to the naked eye and 2,500 times smaller than a single grain of salt. In 2023, Moleaer, with more than 1,000 global horticulture and agriculture installations, partnered with Griffin to enhance growers’ access to Moleaer’s nanobubble technology, according to a news release.
The “Get More from Your Irrigation Water: How Nanobubble Oxygenation Enhances Crop Quality & Reduces Costs” webinar is designed to share the benefits of nanobubble oxygenation with horticulture growers looking to optimize their operations and reduce costs.
Increased dissolved oxygen levels in irrigation water are widely recognized to maximize oxygen utilization by plants and beneficial microbes, promoting healthy root development and enhancing resilience to environmental stressors such as drought and heat. However, economically oxygenating irrigation water has historically been challenging, according to the release.
Dissolved oxygen produced by Moleaer’s nanobubble technology enables growers to oxygenate their irrigation water while realizing the benefits of nano-sized bubbles, including biofilm control, pathogen and algae reduction, better infiltration, and increased water quality, according to the release.
The technology is noted for its stability and transfer efficiency, allowing growers to maintain longer and more consistent dissolved oxygen concentrations in their irrigation water.
With more than eight years of horticulture expertise, Justin Leavitt, Moleaer’s North American business development manager for horticulture, will discuss common water quality issues for growers in the webinar. Leavitt will also cover the benefits of dissolved oxygen and the science behind oxygen nanobubbles.
“We’re excited to share the benefits of our technology with Griffin’s customers,” Leavitt said in the release. “As a grower myself, I truly believe in the power of nanobubbles and how they can enable growers to get more from their irrigation water while becoming more sustainable and profitable.”
Moleaer and Griffin will exhibit at the July 13-16 Cultivate 24 in Columbus, Ohio.
