Mr. Yanai
Yanai Horticulture Co.
President and Representative Director

Mainly Cyclamen and Carnations.Cultivate more than 14 kinds of flowers such as Christmas Begonia, Cherry bee, Mini gerbera, Color, Nadeshiko, etc. and shipping to markets all over Kyushu.
I aim to create flowers that will make our customers truly happy.

 

Why did you install nanobubbles?

・When I first heard about this, I thought this would be good for flowers.
・I hoped that supplying oxygen would improve the growth of the plant body.
・I thought that giving oxygen to the plants could not be bad for them, so I applied for the initial 100 monitoring memberships and started using the product.

How were the effects of nanobubbles?

The nanobubble test area of cyclamen had very low losses compared to the control area. The plants were also fuller, fatter and healthier.
The nanobubble test area had almost no losses due to defoliation and root rot (an average of about 3%), which saved time and effort in sorting.
The loss rate of Christmas begonias was 6.1% in 2016 before the introduction of nanobubbles, but after the introduction of nanobubbles, the loss rate was reduced to 3.1% in 2017 and 1% in 2018.
In the control area, flowers were long, leaves were small, and flower color was not good, but in the nanobubble area, flower length was uniform, leaves were large, flower color was dark, and many superior products were produced.

Number of pots produced and shipped for Christmas begonia

Have you changed your cultivation methods since the introduction of nanobubbles?

・Yes. In the second year of introduction, I intentionally added more nitrogen than in the first year to make the tree more vigorous. It was quite a challenge.
・It produced very good plants and flowers came up beautifully.　It was the best one so far.
・In October, after repotting, it became cooler and I put it in.　Maybe it was the climate, or maybe it was my skill (laughs).　When it became cooler, the roots grew much larger and started to use nitrogen, and the color improved when the flower buds came up together.
・I also found that when I moved the plants that had been managed in a different greenhouse without nanobubbles to a greenhouse with nanobubbles, the roots moved at once.
・The plants were able to eat the nitrogen, and the remaining phosphorus and potassium must have been switched on and punched up. It means the balance was good. This is the hard part, because usually if you put in too much nitrogen, the plant becomes all leafy.
・In the second year of introduction, I realized that I needed to add fertilizer when the plants were running low on fertilizer, so I could control the amount of fertilizer and extend the shipping period longer.
・I found out that I may not have enough fertilizer if I continue to grow the plants the way I have been growing them.　Nanobubble irrigation creates roots that can absorb fertilizer well.　Using nanobubbles, nitrogen can be absorbed even immediately after planting (it cannot be absorbed normally), so nitrogen runs out quickly = flowers bloom early.
・Without the original vigor of the tree, flower buds will not grow well. Therefore, phosphorus and potassium are balanced, and the plant grows.

Result of Verification test in 2022
You have conducted the verification　test  from seedling growth in 2022, what have you found?

・First, during the seedling growth process, the seedlings to which nanobubbles were added grew faster and larger. Then, gradually, after a few months, the control group caught up.
・Normally, the nanobubbles would be expected to be larger, but because the test was originally conducted with less fertilizer in the nutrient soil, the plants with nanobubbles absorbed more nitrogen first, and then the control area plants gradually caught up to the same size.
・On February 3, under cooler temperatures, growth was greater in the nanobubble area.
・On April 5, when temperatures began to rise, the control area caught up with the nanobubble area.
・In the nanobubble areas, plants were smaller and flowered earlier because more fertilizer was applied to the flower buds and was biased toward reproductive growth.
・It is certain that in areas with nanobubbles, flowering occurs earlier.
・Once biased toward reproductive growth, the results cannot be reversed, but plants with nanobubbles can produce higher quality flowers when fertilizer is applied.
・Normally, one would think that the use of nanobubbles would produce good results, but in reality, the ideal control of flowering can be achieved by adjusting how flower buds are controlled, when nanobubbles are added or not, and how fertilizer is used.

Have you noticed any penetration of nanobubbles?
