Cavitation Technologies is set to provide B&F Greenhouse Services with Low-Pressure Nano Tech (LPN). Additionally, CTi and B&F have executed a collaboration agreement to explore additional applications of CTi's water treatment nano-technologies and business development.
B&F operates approximately 160 acres of farmland, mainly focused on growing bell peppers in the greenhouse, and drawing most of its water requisites from Lake Erie. B&F has been rapidly expanding its operations in the past 10 years, which has necessitated its need for advanced water treatment technologies.
Bell pepper growers have faced a common problem worldwide attributed to water quality, which has impacted crop growth. For instance, high sodium levels hinder calcium absorption in plants, resulting in reduced pepper production. Additionally, water issues like fungi and algae affect nutrient effectiveness and root health, impacting overall crop quality.
The issue of reduced agricultural output due to water quality concerns is a pervasive challenge faced by farmers globally. Diseases caused by fungal pathogens can cause crop losses of 10-20% (worth $100-$200 billion) each year (according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), emphasizing the urgent need for improved solutions.
"We're thrilled to partner with B&F Greenhouse Services Inc. to address agriculture challenges proactively," stated Neil Voloshin, CEO of CTi. "Our technology's integration promises to improve crop yields, promote sustainability, and alleviate economic burdens on farmers, all while following our commitment to a greener future."
"Our mutual objective is to conduct a collaborative research effort to explore, to the extent practicable, additional potential uses, applications, and processes with respect to which the CTi Technology has substantial commercial benefits for both companies and industry in general. Further, the parties have agreed that CTI's proprietary Hydro-Plasma Technology will be available for collaborative research to explore multiple practicable water treatment applications as well," Mr. Voloshin concluded.
