Fertilizer from the earth

Why is this happening? It’s all about that EG-treatment (Electrohydraulic treatment) stimulates and sharply accelerates the course of chemical reactions. It was also established that in the soil mixed with water under the action of electrohydraulic shocks the content of O2 and O3 ions increases significantly, and a large number of OH anions intensively transform into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which then, decomposing into H2O and O, causes vigorous oxidation of the previously “passive” salts of the fertile layer by the formed atomic oxygen.

Under natural conditions, the overwhelming majority of complex soil salts can be considered insoluble in water, which, by the way, essentially does not so much dissolve as decompose or destroy them, carrying out this process extremely slowly, over tens of years. First, water “takes away” some part of the salt, converting it into simpler compounds. Then the remaining part of the still complex (no less than before) salt is again “simplified” under the further action of water. This continues until the initial soil salts are transformed into the final, simplest of the possible mineral compounds under specific conditions (SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, etc.). But with electrohydraulic soil treatment, all the processes under consideration are sharply (up to hundredths of a second) accelerated, and they can also be made controllable, that is, their course can be selectively influenced.

An important factor is that the soil is a polydisperse system: its solid phases consist of particles of various sizes, from the largest ones – sand grains to colloidal particles with a diameter of several millimicrons. The role of highly dispersed colloidal fractions in creating the necessary soil conditions for plant development is very responsible and diverse. After all, they are the main suppliers of nutrients, since the availability of their absorption by plants and the ability of the soil to retain these substances is directly dependent on the size of the particles that make it up: the larger the specific surface area of the particles, the higher their nutritional properties. Thus, the leadership of silt soils in fertility is explained, in particular, by the fact that the total surface area of their particles reaches a huge value of 23,000 cm² per kilogram of soil.

As a result of electrohydraulic processing, almost the entire soil sample is crushed to particles close to colloidal or to colloidal particles, and their resulting total surface area can become significantly larger than even that of natural silt fractions. The resulting highly dispersed, very small particles actively interact with the compounds that have passed into solution, therefore, processes such as dissolution and especially sorption increase qualitatively and prove to be extremely effective. And large particles serve as a reserve fund, a soil reserve, due to which the electrohydraulic effect increases its overall dispersion. Obviously, several electrohydraulic handfuls of soil will be quite sufficient to satisfy the needs of plants for the necessary nutrients on one square meter of the field during the year.

But we haven’t said a word about nitrogen, which is the basis of a full-fledged “menu” of plants. This element is very common in nature, but plants often remain hungry, being, as they say, at a rich table. The EG effect can help here too. Experiments have shown that if ordinary irrigation water taken from any reservoir is processed electrohydraulic, “crushed”, the amount of dissolved nitrogen compounds in it quickly increases. In addition, air consisting of 78% nitrogen, gaseous nitrogen and even exhaust gases can be blown through it under low pressure, which, having been utilized in this way, will pollute the atmosphere less. And the result is amazing: ordinary irrigation water becomes a nitrogen-rich fertilizer!

Now we can say that the electrohydraulic effect can extract nutrients for plants directly from the soil, irrigation water and even air in the field, i.e. fertilize without fertilizers. And there is no need to worry about the reserves of “raw materials” – they are practically inexhaustible. However, if this is true for the most common in nature very poor lands, then, probably, EG-treatment will be especially beneficial for soils rich in nutrients, but, alas, very reluctantly, as we know, give them to plants. For example, peat, the deposits of which in our country are extremely large. It is not for nothing that they are called storehouses of the sun. Peat, indeed, as if accumulates solar energy in itself, becoming an excellent raw material for many sectors of the national economy. However, peat acquires fertilizing qualities only at a certain degree of decomposition, and this process in natural conditions is very slow. To speed it up, various methods are used – thermal, chemical, biological – that allow the organic matter to be converted into a state that is assimilable by plants.

The very first laboratory experiments showed the extreme efficiency of electrohydraulic processing of peat. It turned out that this leads to rapid decomposition of the organic matter of peat, bound forms of nitrogen and other nutrients, which become soluble, mobile, i.e. assimilable by plants. For example, the content of ammonia nitrogen increases depending on the type of peat by 1.5-5 times, and water-soluble organic matter by 1.5-6 times.

But the most amazing surprise was yet to come. Experiments revealed that the decomposition of the organic matter of peat and the increase in mobile forms of nitrogen, water-soluble carbon and other nutrients in it continues after electrohydraulic processing, during storage. Subsequently, based on the results of hundreds of experiments, it was established that free storage of electrohydraulic-treated peat at positive temperatures leads to a sharp (10-30 times!) increase in the content of nutrients assimilated by plants on the 10-15th day. For example, the dynamics of changes in the content (mg per 1 kg of dry mass) in peat is as follows: in its natural state 23.4 mg / kg, 3-4 days after EG-treatment – 73.6, and after 14 days already 760 mg / kg. And what is very important, in the future, peat practically does not lose its acquired fertilizing qualities. RESEARCHES WERE CONDUCTED IN OUR LABORATORY FOR 5 YEARS.

The results of the research on peat showed:

• Increase in the mass content of ammonia nitrogen by 1.4–4.5 times.
• Increase in water-soluble organic matter by 1.5–5 times.
• Hydrolytic deamination of free acids.
• Increase in the content of soluble nitrogen compounds by 5–10 times on the 10–15th day of storage.

Electrohydraulic processing of peat is:

• An effective and environmentally friendly solution for agriculture.
• A step towards the development of nanotechnology in the agro-industrial complex.
• Innovations for fertile lands and rich harvests.
• Increase in yield by 30-100%
• Reduce plant diseases by 80% without using chemical components
• Tillage of soil, plants without chemical fertilizers. Growing crops on a 100% biological natural basis.
