Agriculture
Soil health plays a critical role in maximizing your crop yield. Producers may have an understanding of the nutrients, pH, and EC, but often overlook the importance of appropriate soil oxygen levels as a production tool.
The root system requires oxygen for aerobic respiration, an essential process that releases the energy required for healthy root growth. Lack of sufficient oxygen can become a limiting factor in growth and yield. When used in conjunction with a good agronomic program, properly delivered dissolved oxygen can:
- Increase root mass.
- Improve nutrient conversion efficiency and plant availability, thus reducing inputs, as well as nitrogen and phosphorus leachate and run-off.
- Improve irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE).
- Improve management of stress events.
- Reduce disease pressure and fungicide costs.
- Reduce nematode pressure and chemical costs.
- Improve yield and quality.
It wasn’t until the advent of Ag-Ox’s patent pending technology that you could have a reliable, measurable, easily adjustable, and cost effective method to provide the proper levels of oxygen to the root zone through your existing irrigation system.
Client Observations
A peanut producer in central Georgia has been able to reduce his fungicide cost by 60% while still producing very high-quality yields for that area of the state. He has also been able to successfully produce peanuts on the same field in back-to-back years.
