Phyto-C3 Delivers Oxygen to the Root Zone
For several years farmers who use Phyto-C3 for irrigation cleaning have been observing benefits to crop and soil health that could not be explained by improved irrigation efficiency alone. What they were observing was the impact of increased oxygen and other atmospheric gasses in the soil, one of the most important factors in soil health and plant vitality.
Over the last few decades there has been a revolution in the scientific understanding of soil. Healthy soil is not an inert repository of nutrients but a community of living things that need to breathe. Phyto-C3 affects has such profound effects on the health of plants because it affects this fundamental aspect of the soil environment and water quality.
Water treated with Phyto-C3:
- Promotes the growth of aerobic bacteria, fungi and other soil biology that is beneficial to crop plants.
- Accelerate the decomposition of organic matter in soil, making nutrients available to plants and creating gaps that improve soil structure.
- Benefits plant growth in a soilless hydroponic environment directly increasing a plants uptake of water and nutrients.
- Reduces the negative effects of salt accumulation in the soil.
Because it benefits aerobic biology and crop plants directly while also improving the soil structure and aeration of the soil, Phyto-C3 can be thought of as both a Bio-Stimulant and a Soil Conditioner.
The new understanding of the benefits of oxygen and atmospheric gasses in the soil has lead to the practice of “oxygation”, or irrigation with water enriched with oxygen in ultrafine bubbles. This has usually been achieved with expensive machinery such as injectors and pressurization systems or caustic hydrogen peroxide. Phyto-C3 allows for oxygation with a tiny amount of benign organic input making it the safest, most ecologically sound and cost effective method available to achieve “oxygation”.
