Electrolytic Ozone Water vs. Tap Water: A Comparative Study on Hydroponic Bean Growth

Our Japan team conducted a 22-day study on hydroponic cultivation of bean seedlings, comparing the effects of electrolytic ozone water and tap water. Below are the testing data results.

Experimental Methods:

1.Materials:

On August 28, 2020, purchase a bunch of bean sprouts from a supermarket.

2.Preparation:

 · Cut off the leaves approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the sprouts.

 · Separate the cut leaves into two groups and place them in two separate containers.

3.Setup:

 · Label the containers as "Electrolyzed Water" and "Tap Water."

 · Change the water daily, following the procedures below.

4.Water Change Rules:

Electrolyzed Water Side:

 · Prepare fresh electrolyzed water each morning by electrolyzing tap water for 3 minutes.

 · Replace the old water with the freshly prepared electrolyzed water.

 · Ensure tap water is never directly added to this container.

Tap Water Side:

 · Discard the old water each morning.

 · Rinse the roots and the container with fresh tap water to remove any stickiness.

 · Refill with fresh tap water.

 5.Water Level:

   Maintain a consistent water level in both containers, avoiding excessive water.

 6.Daily Observations:

   Record any noticeable differences in the condition of the sprouts between the two containers.

A 22-day study comparing bean sprouts grown in electrolytic ozone water and tap water demonstrates the transformative potential of water quality in agriculture. The electrolytic ozone water group exhibited taller, greener sprouts with pristine roots, while the tap water group showed less vigorous growth and root discoloration. This underscores the critical role of water quality control, not just in hydroponics but across agricultural practices.

The use of electrolytic ozone water in agriculture offers numerous benefits beyond improved plant growth. It can significantly enhance the quality of crops by reducing harmful microbial contamination, leading to healthier plants with fewer diseases. This technology also helps improve nutrient absorption by plants, resulting in stronger root systems and more robust yields. Additionally, electrolytic ozone water helps break down harmful chemicals and pesticides in the soil and water, promoting a more environmentally friendly and sustainable farming practice. By reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it can lower production costs and contribute to cleaner, safer produce for consumers.

This technology holds promise for sustainable and efficient agricultural planting systems, paving the way for healthier crops and a cleaner, more sustainable environment.
