How to control algae and pathogens in irrigation reservoirs: Controlling algae and root pathogens in irrigation reservoirs has traditionally been done with physical disinfection or oxidation by hydrogen peroxide, however, nanobubbles are a chemical-free way to treat irrigation reservoirs. Nanobubbles produce hydroxyl radicals, a highly oxidative species, that lyse bacteria cells and degrade algal toxins. They also disrupt the buoyancy of algal cells, causing them to sink and die. Nanobubbles increase the water’s dissolved oxygen levels and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) making it harder for algae to thrive. One greenhouse grower treating irrigation reservoirs was able to eliminate dosing with hydrogen peroxide and reduce hydrogen peroxide cleaning by 50% after installing a nanobubble generator. #moleaer #nanobubbles #nanobubbletechnology #agtech #greenhousetechnology #lakesandponds #algae #harmfulalgalblooms #integratedpestmanagement #aquaticprofessionals #aquaticmanagement #...
