Among the many factors that contribute to a healthy growing system, the oxygenation of substrates is particularly vital. Imagine properly oxygenated substrates as a well-fortified castle, safeguarding its inhabitants from an onslaught of pathogens. This isn’t just poetic imagery; it’s backed by scientific research. Enhanced oxygen levels in the root zone can play a decisive role in suppressing microbial, fungal, and even viral pathogens, which translates into healthier plants and higher yields.
