Vulcan 550 installed for irrigation systems
Scientific Verification
Observed Improvements
After the trial period, it was observed that the plant had better roots and green parts than expected. This prompted new leaf and soil analysis.
Analysis Results
Comparing analysis before and after Vulcan use showed:
- Higher rate of plant nutrient transfer from calcium and minerals in water
- Higher rate of nutrient transfer from soil reserves to plant
Results
No Limescale Stains
Green parts of plants free from limescale stains
Quality Increased
Overall quality improvement observed
Flower Branch Weight
Important quality criterion – increased
Fertilizer Savings
Achieved with the use of Vulcan
Better Roots
Plants developed stronger root systems than expected
How Vulcan Improves Nutrient Uptake
By treating irrigation water, Vulcan 550 transforms calcium and minerals into forms that plants can more readily absorb.
The Process:
- Limescale and bicarbonate issues in water are addressed
- Calcium and minerals become bioavailable
- Plants absorb nutrients more efficiently through roots
- Higher rate of nutrient transfer from soil reserves
- Better root development and green parts
- Increased flower branch weight and quality
