This company manufactures nanobubble generators designed to significantly increase dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in irrigation water. Their technology delivers stable nanobubbles directly to the root zone, enhancing plant vigor, nutrient uptake, and overall health. The systems aim to improve crop quality and yield while promoting drought tolerance and reducing root disease.

Problem
In controlled environment agriculture, low dissolved oxygen (D.O.) levels in irrigation water can limit nutrient uptake and compromise root zone health, hindering plant vigor and overall yields. Traditional aeration methods often fail to achieve optimal D.O. concentrations, especially at higher altitudes.
Solution
Enrichment Systems offers the ESP-150, a nanobubble technology solution designed to elevate dissolved oxygen levels in irrigation water, promoting enhanced plant health and increased productivity. The system generates ultra-fine bubbles that remain suspended in water for extended periods, delivering oxygen directly to the root zone. This technology improves nutrient absorption, strengthens drought tolerance, eases transition shock, and reduces the incidence of root diseases. The ESP-150 enables plants to achieve their maximum potential by optimizing oxygen availability in the root environment.
Target Audience
The primary customers are growers in controlled environment agriculture, including greenhouses and vertical farms, seeking to optimize plant health and increase yields through improved irrigation water quality.
