A leading arboretum in Urla, Turkey conducted a rigorous trial that proves physical water treatment works - even on water most growers consider unusable. UZBAŞ Arboretum operates a 200-hectare ornamental plant nursery in Urla, İzmir, Turkey. Founded in 1996,
AQUA4D® supports healthier plants, increased yield potential, and long-term soil health. For pistachio growers in saline-prone regions like California’s Central Valley, adopting AQUA4D® tech could lead to significant environmental and economic benefits.
In addition to access to new technologies, the agreement involves cooperation in activities such as the organisation of seminars, studies and information gathering to promote good practices in water management and the development of sustainable development projects. Taking
British researchers investigated the efficacy of AQUA4D in optimizing turf growth and development under varying water availability scenarios. The findings show the potential of AQUA4D to revolutionize turf management practices, particularly in regions facing water constraints.
The reduction in salinity levels, as facilitated by AQUA4D®, likely created a more favorable environment for plant growth, leading to improved tree growth parameters. This highlights the potential of AQUA4D® as an effective solution for enhancing tree growth and productivity in soils affected by high salinity.
This study implies that through effective water treatment AQUA4D® can decrease persistent limescale issues by ~80%, thereby decreasing the need for chemical treatment and increasing the efficiency and sustainability of installations.
This study showed that AQUA4D® sustainable water treatment results in better water use efficiency, as well as superior performance, increased nutrient uptake, and better fruit quality.
A large-scale trial of Precision Irrigation technology has concluded its first phase in Chile, with profound implications for the sustainable cultivation of avocados in water-stressed regions.
This article originally appeared in FreshFruitPortal in January 2021. Like many places in Peru and Chile, the coastal area of northern Peru suffers from increasing soil salinity. This presents particular difficulties for the cultivation of avocados, an important export
This is an adapted version of an article published in the journal Soil & Tillage Research (2020) With an increase of high-profile projects in various countries, the effects of AQUA4D® technology on irrigation water are being increasingly studied. However,
George Hércules de Melo explores the effects of water-smart technology in challenging irrigation settings.
Brazilian growers are adopting AQUA4D® to optimize irrigation, promote water efficiency, and restore soils. Here are some of the proven benefits.
Like many countries, Morocco is faced with increasing water scarcity and drought. Thankfully, help is at hand thanks to the growth of efficiency-boosting innovations in agtech.
After persistent loss of yield due to nematodes, and a desire to move towards a more sustainable agriculture, these growers in Senegal looked to the Aqua4D system after having seen its successes in other countries.
Biofilm is defined as an “aggregate of bacteria that adheres to a surface”[1]. This so-called “bacterial adhesion”[2] is like a living tissue on the pipe’s surface, and is a paradise for bacteria of all kinds, providing a nutrient-rich environment which facilitates growth.
