Over the past 6 months, research has been conducted into a hydrogen-oxygen technology for the cultivation of tulips, tomatoes, and pepper plants in a closed-water system. The use of hydrogen and oxygen-infused irrigation water from the Fundamental Systems system appears to have positive effects on both the rooting phase and the microbiome, thereby increasing the resilience of cultivars. This reduces the need for interventions and increases weekly yields (in kg).
The technique to produce hydrogen and oxygen-infused water appears to be scalable and does not adversely affect the nutrients dissolved in the water. In addition, the irrigation water can continue to be used in a circular manner, as shown in the final report shared on Glastuinbouw Waterproof.
