Root Environment and Plant Cultivation

The importance of sufficient oxygen in the root zone is often underestimated. Roots cannot absorb nutrients if the oxygen content is too low. The crop will be inhibited in its development and the roots will weaken.

Fytagoras is specialised in measurements in the root environment. The water content, EC, pH and oxygen concentration are especially important parameters. The optical oxygen measurement technology developed by Fytagoras makes it possible to perform a large number of exact oxygen concentration measurements at many different locations simultaneously in all kinds of cultivation systems. This provides insight into growth-limiting oxygen deficiencies in the roots in relation to other cultivation factors, such as substrate choice, watering, above-ground growth, etc.

Fytagoras also acts as an independent expert in legal matters and carries out risk analyses for the agricultural sector.
