Cucumber grower tests lightning water: 'Similar to normal fertilizers'

Founder of VitalFluid Paul Leenders managed to bind nitrogen in water. Eventually, this should become the alternative to artificial fertilizers. Vegetable nursery 't Bleekerven from Heusden conducted a test with this so-called lightning water. The Stand van Nederland programme explained what exactly lightning water means and how it could become important for agriculture and horticulture in the future. VitalFluid's invention ensures that nitrogen can be dosed to plants in a natural and sustainable way. The vegetable nursery will conduct more field trials with this in the coming years.

Tijn Aarts: "We had two test rows and two normal rows. We compared these with each other. We saw that the productions remained almost the same. Every day, the same person actually did everything the same. Infertilizershere weren't any differences, so it's comparable to normal fertilizers we use." What's nice to know is that there will be about 100 cucumbers per plant, and the company grows about 15 million annually.
