Increase in oxygen content
Improve oxygen levels in fertigation water
Our Oxydizer can be seamlessly integrated with the existing VGB fertigation system to increase the oxygen content in the fertigation water. A higher oxygen content in the water improves the growth and health of the plants/trees, but also improves the health of piping and drip hoses.

Our Oxydizer can be seamlessly integrated with the existing VGB fertigation system to increase the oxygen content in the fertigation water. A higher oxygen content in the water improves the growth and health of the plants/trees, but also improves the health of piping and drip hoses .
How it works
The addition of oxygen by the Oxydizer creates an aerobic environment. This results in a healthier water environment where bacteria have less opportunity to grow or attach. The Oxidizer uses a venturi technique to draw oxygen into the water. Also, it creates a vortex, causing the oxygen to dissolve in the water and bind to the water.
Installation and maintenance
The Oxydizer is easy to install and maintain. It includes an oxygen module that can be added to your existing VGB irrigation system. The system uses advanced venturi technology to achieve higher oxygen levels even in warm water or heavily fertilized conditions.
Conclusion
Integrating our Oxydizer into your fertigation turns can lead to healthier plants, higher yields and more efficient water use. This innovative technology is a worthwhile investment for any grower looking to maximize the productivity and sustainability of their crop.

Improve plant growth
Key benefits
Improved root respiration
Increased oxygen levels in water improve root respiration, which is critical for efficient uptake of nutrients and water by tree and plant. Higher oxygen availability accelerates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of cells, and promotes healthier and more robust plant growth.
Improved plant growth and yield
Studies have shown that oxygenated water can lead to increases in plant biomass and yield. Depending on the plant/tree and soil structure, these can be significant increases.
Higher dissolved oxygen (DO) levels contribute to greater root mass, better vegetative growth and improved flowering and fruiting characteristics.
Disease and stress resistance
No more chlorine and hydrogen peroxide required
Oxygen-rich water helps plants resist disease and stress. Oxygen-rich water has been shown to reduce colonization of roots by pathogens, keeping plants healthier.
Higher oxygen levels also help plants tolerate salt stress better, which is especially beneficial in areas with elevated salt levels in the water.
Better absorption of nutrients
Oxygen in water aids in the oxidation of organic phosphates to inorganic forms, making nutrients more accessible to plants. This improved efficiency of nutrient conversion supports improved growth and development.
Water efficiency and quality – Natural cleaning irrigation system
Using oxygenated water can increase water use efficiency by up to 27%. Plants fertilized with oxygenated water require less water to grow optimally, contributing to sustainable cultivation. Increased oxygen levels mean that algae and organic contaminants have less chance of adhering to the drip hoses, keeping them cleaner over a longer period of time.
Reduced soil compaction and improved soil health:
Oxygen in the water reduces soil compaction and helps flush out salts. It also improves soil microbial activity, promoting a healthier root environment and better overall soil health.
