- Potato Irrigation
-
- Increase Your Potato Yields
- The Oxion Air System can increase your potato yields by improving
the ability of your plants to make use of water and soil
nutrients. Injecting Oxion Air into your irrigation water
substantially increases the dissolved oxygen content of your
water. This, in turn, increases water penetration into the soil
and the oxygen content of your soil after watering. Improved
soil porosity increases water use efficiency and also results in
better utilization of soil nutrients. Oxion Air helps maintain
aerobic conditions in your soil, creating an environment undesirable
for fungi. Reduced symptom of early blight without the usual use
of fungicides have been noted. Yield increase of 10-20 cwt. per
acre have been achieved when Oxion Air was added to the irrigation
system.

- Improve the Qualify of your potato crop
- Soil receiving water treated with Oxion Air can produce a potato
crop with a higher specific gravity. The specific gravity of
potato tubers is an estimate of their solids or their dry matter
content. The Oxion studies and grower reports reflect increases
in specific gravity of .002 or greater.
-
- Leave Your Soil in Your Field
- Improving your soil texture results in fewer clods and less soil
adhering to potatoes at harvest. Fewer clods increases harvest
speeds while reducing the amount of dirt going into storage. The
potential for problems in storage due to dry rot and soft rot is
reduced.
The Oxion Air System can also be used to aid in the storage
of potatoes.
