Electric-field nanobubbles for agriculture

Abstract

Niall J. English, from Chemical Engineering at University College Dublin, discusses how using electric-field-generated nanobubbles for agriculture is empowering fundamental progress. A fundamental challenge in crop and tillage agriculture lies in providing adequate levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the water supply whether via irrigation or spray-delivery methods for respective root-zone or stomatal delivery, with also CO2 in the latter case. This is limited by Henry’s Law, which governs thermodynamic gas solubility in liquids.
