Record Dissolved oxygen in your irrigation water for better growth

DRAMMwater was founded four years ago to address water quality issues in the horticultural industry. Now Dramm has found that the typical measurements of quality are not enough. EC, pH, alkalinity, and even the presence of pathogens all do not address the total health of the water for growing plants.

One measurement not often recorded in the greenhouse is dissolved oxygen (DO) in irrigation water. Growers are aware of the necessity for oxygen in the root zone. Irrigation cycles and media choice are dictated by this concern. However, very little is done to measure and increase DO in irrigation water.

Too little DO in water can cause growth delay and greater problems. DO below 6 ppm is often considered detrimental, with oxygen leaving the plant to balance levels in the irrigation water.

High levels of DO can increase growth and plant health, reducing cropping time, fertilizer usage and pesticide applications, while yielding a healthier plant.
