improve soil fertility & crop yield with structured water - Crystal Blue

Crop Yield? What’s that?

Crop yield, by definition, refers to how much grain or other crops are produced per unit area of land. It is an indication of how efficiently the land is used to produce agricultural commodities. Higher the yield, better is the land utility value!

Is Crop Yield linked to Soil fertility? Can it be improved?

Crop Yield is inextricably linked to the Soil Fertility and the efficient management of available resources. The capacity of the soil to sustain crop growth is defined as Soil Fertility. The fertility of the soil is directly proportional to the crop yield.

Soil Fertility can be enhanced through many ways, the most common being the application of organic & inorganic fertilizers to the soil. But apart from these conventional methods, there is an inexpensive, yet greatly beneficial technique! The use of Structured Water for irrigation.

It has been scientifically demonstrated that the use of Structured Water ameliorates the soil quality. Research has proven that the use of Structured Water increases oxygen concentration, increases bioavailability of water & nutrients to plants, increases water absorption in soil & improves soil pH. It also significantly reduces the dependence on fertilizers & pesticides.

But will this improve Crop Yield?

Structured Water for agricultural use has been scientifically proven to benefit crop quality. Many scientific studies and research, carried out by reputed institutions such as Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Water Technology Centre, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot, Central Institute of Cotton Research, Coimbatore, etc, have time & time again validated the claims of improved quantity and quality of yield of a variety of fruits, vegetables, and grain crops. Structured Water helps farmers to dramatically reduce the water consumption & enhances the crop quality, while increasing the nutrient density. Regular use of Structured Water in the farm will save the expenses incurred on pesticides and fertilizers, thus increasing the profit margin as well.

May 5, 2021May 5, 2021

We have always maintained that Structured Water is great for your farm. It improves the crop yield and maximizes the returns. Well, now we have one more report to back up our claim!

Water Technology Centre (WTC) at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University carried out a study and evaluation of the ‘Performance of Structured Water on Growth, Yield and Quality of Cotton and Vegetables’ with the objectives being –

To assess the influence of Structured Water units on chemical composition and various water quality parameters
To evaluate the impact of Structured Water units on seedling vigour, growth, soil properties and uptake of nutrients by cotton and vegetables
To compare yield and quality of the produce with existing practices.

Established during 1982, Water Technology Centre (WTC) at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) is one among the three such centres in the country. It plays a key role in making an assessment of the available resources of water and economic utilization for maximizing agricultural production with suitable on-farm water management practices developed for different situations.

To assess the effectiveness of Structured Water units on plant growth, yield, soil properties and nutrient uptake the field experiments were conducted during 2013 – 14 employing Cotton, Bhendi and Tomato as test crops. To ascertain its role in improving the irrigation water quality, two separate field trials, one at Agricultural College and Research Institute (TNAU), Coimbatore employing test crop as Cotton and two more field trials at farmer’s field in Thondamuthur block employing test crop as Tomato and Bhendi were carried out for confirmation of results.

The results of the scientific study were stunning, but not surprising. The salient findings of the research were,

Under the field experiment on cotton, the growth, yield attributes, yield and quality was higher under application of 100% structured water with the seed cotton yield increase of 36.6% over ordinary water irrigation.
In tomato cultivation, the growth, yield, economics and quality was favourably influenced by Structured Water irrigation. It recorded higher growth and yield with the increase of 39.55% fruit yield over ordinary water irrigation. The economic returns showed that Structured Water irrigation recorded the highest net return.
In Bhendi cultivation, the growth, yield and economics was higher in Structured Water irrigation with 35.84 % yield increase over ordinary water application.
In Sorghum, the growth parameters and yield was higher in structured water irrigation with 3.0 % yield increase over ordinary water application.
Tapioca also showed higher yield under structured water irrigation with 19.06% increased yield over ordinary water irrigation.
Structured Water irrigation practice recorded higher nutrient uptake (NPK) when compared to ordinary water irrigation.
Drip uniformity coefficient indicated that 100% Structured Water irrigation recorded higher drip uniformity coefficient (92.78%) than the ordinary irrigation management practices.

Based on the results of field experiments, it is proven that the crops which were irrigated with Structured Water exhibit an increase in growth and yield. Crop production improvement is observed with the use of Structured Water. Structured Water creates a tuned environment where water is caused to flow in specific geometrical patterns. The characteristic of water reflects a purity that is observed in nature. Crystal Blue’s Structured Water units eliminate negative energy patterns and redefine water’s natural healthy energy pattern.

Drinking enough water to stay hydrated is essential but hydration is much more than enough fluid intake. Athletes, in particular, experience daily water losses which are substantial and they need a farther emphasis on their hydration status.

As a norm, athletes are extensively engaged in intense physical exercises, the duration of which is usually long. If there occurs a mismatch between sweat cast out from the body & water requirement they are dehydrated and dehydration is detrimental to performance.

Effects of Dehydration On The Performance of Athletes

A common need to perform at their best ability is ‘proper hydration’. Before, during, and after prolonged physical activities, it is important that athletes monitor their hydration levels as dehydration causes:

Noticeable decrease in physical & mental performance
Loss of sweat causes 2% of body weight which in turn decreases the capacity for work by roughly 30%
Reduction in blood volume
Decreased skin blood flow
Decreased sweat rate
Decreased heat dissipation
Increased core temperature
Increased rate of glycogen breakdown in muscles
Increased level of fatigue

Dehydration is indeed a cause for decreased performance which affects the blood, cardiac, and heat in the body. When you’re dehydrated, drinking ‘water’ alone won’t help. Your body needs access to softer, wetter, healthier, and highly hydrating water to help you achieve maximal hydration.

Regular/normal water may erase the thirst for a while but dehydration remains. Also, aerobic endurance, strength, power, speed, agility, and reaction time decreases with as little as 2% dehydration.

The Best Kind of Water for Improved Hydration

So, here comes “Structured Water” – a holy grail for improved hydration in athletes. It goes by different names around the world – EZ water (the 4th stage of water), energized water, revitalized water, activated water, and more.

Structured water acts like a battery capable of storing energy. The more structured a water becomes the more hydrating it becomes. Consumption of structured water regularly enhances cell-to-cell communication. When water is passed through special structured water devices its property changes resulting in highly energized, intoxicated, and smooth water.

Structured Water & Improved Hydration

Optimal hydration is linked to improved athletic performance and structured water has shown huge positive impacts on the bodies of athletes. It is because structured water:

Improves oxygen level
Maximizes body absorption
Recharges the liquid battery of the body
Boosts energy & the immune system
Provides maximum hydration
Has an electrical charge
Reduces the need for high volume liquid intake

Improve FCR of Poultry With Structured Water Units

March 1, 2021March 2, 2021

Feed cost is a major factor that impacts the profitability in the poultry industry. Controlling or reducing this cost has a major impact on the economics of the poultry business. Feed consumption is measured by a factor called the FCR.

FCR – Feed Conversion Ratio is a measure of the poultry’s efficiency in converting feed into increased body mass which ultimately defines a farmer’s returns against the efforts.

formula

Farmers use two additional terms:

Biological FCR – The net amount of feed used to produce 1kg of broiler
Economics FCR – All the feed used including mortalities and feed losses

FCR is that critical parameter that can ensure the viability of a poultry farm. It is the measure of the efficiency of your poultry business. The lower the FCR, the more efficient are the flocks at converting feed into food. And gaining a lower FCR requires modern and simple methods. One of such methods to improve the FCR ratio is the use of “Structured Water“.

Structured water in poultry farming has shown incredible results. In a poultry farm in Bengaluru, broiler chickens were observed under the influence of Crystal Blue structured water units and the results were highly positive. The broiler performance displayed is as below:

Better feed conversion efficiency
Better heart and spleen weight
Low abdominal fat content
High immune system status, and
Additional body weight

The average weight of the broilers was increased to 1.9 Kgs with the use of structured water from 1.6 kgs as against borewell water.

Structured Water in Poultry Farming

Structured water is water as found in nature. Rainwater is considered one of the purest forms of water (which is structured). All flocks & animals instinctively know it’s the best water for them. Structured water functions in the same fashion. The water flowing out of the structured water devices is soft, smooth, hydrating, and healthier. Poultry that is organically grown where structured water is made available for consumption displays better outcomes.

Benefits of Structured Water in Poultry Farming

Faster growth
Bigger birds
Reduced mortality rate – From 1% to 0.5%
Less water and feed usage
Increased weight of the birds – 2 kgs in 40 days
Reduced cost of production per bird

The right feeding strategy can help poultry producers reduce their feed cost and as a result, give them the best chances for profitability. After all, profitability can only be improved with what’s measured.

Improve Quality of Irrigation Water with Structured Water Devices

February 5, 2021February 5, 2021

Does your crop yield look healthy to you? Is it the soil or the quality of irrigation water?

The quality of irrigation water plays an important role in the quantity, quality, and yield of crops. Poor irrigation water quality is a critical factor in determining the quantity of the produce, quality of yield, and soil productivity.

Not all irrigation water systems guarantee increased yield and higher profits. The only science that can guarantee both is “Structured Water”. Structured water in farming has proven to be the best quality-water for irrigation. It has greater wetting property than ordinary water and hence gives full hydration to the crops.

Crystal Blue water structuring units have shown incredibly impressive results in farming. The structured water filters have helped farmers boost yield and profits in several parts of the country.

Structured Water Improves Quality of Irrigation Water

High pH levels, alkalinity, soluble salts, and hard water salts such as magnesium & calcium present in borewell water clog irrigation systems. And this results in poor irrigation water quality which fails to produce high-quality yields.

Structured water is soft, energized with balanced pH levels & neutralized toxins. It promises physical growth stimulation of the crops. Structured water technology changes the physical and chemical parameters of natural water which results in increased filtration and dissolving properties of water. Use of Crystal Blue structured water devices has been found to increase crop yield – Radish by 287%, Sweet Potato by 104%, Beans cultivation by 128%.

Using structured water in irrigation – Sprinkler and drip irrigation – can increase seed germination, improve the quality of the crop, reduce the use of organic and inorganic fertilizers. The structured water filters can reduce water needs by 20%-30% and provide long-lasting soil moisture. Watering crops with structured water is a long-term cost-effective solution.

Benefits of Structured Water in Agriculture

That’s not it. Structured water hydrates soil microbes & soil carbon storage. By delivering electrical charge into the soil it improves the health and diversity of microbes.

Benefits of Structured Water in Irrigation

Bigger & better crops
Better assimilation of nutrients in plants during the vegetation period
Increased yield & profits
Highly moist soil
Increase oxygen concentration
Increased soil pH
Reduced salinity in soil
Increased quantity of crop produce

Higher Yield with Improved Irrigation Water Quality

Crystal Blue India’s structured water devices have been leveraged in a large number of agricultural fields and have been proved to be highly profitable in crop cultivation.
