Dramm Releases White Paper
Dramm’s new white paper explains the basic dissolved oxygen (DO) requirements for plant vitality, impediments to sufficient levels and the solutions to overcome these issues. According to the company’s research, most growers measure EC and pH but rarely looks at DO levels in their irrigation water. DO, however, can have a major impact on plant growth. Low DO levels will slow growth and high levels will promote growth. While this measurement is not often taken, growers are aware of the need for oxygen in the root zone. Media type and watering schedules are chosen to help supply oxygen to the roots. To download Dissolved Oxygen in the Greenhouse, visit www.dramm.com.
