THE AIRPONIC GROWING SYSTEM

An advanced technology for rapid plant growth, from Bioponic Phytoceutials. This breakthrough system accelerates the propagation of a wide variety of plant species delivering more abundant, healthier yields, quicker and in less space than any other growing method.

The Airponic solution spurs plant growth by pulse-misting suspended plants in a controlled environment. In this soil-free, oxygen and nutrient-rich system, plants root up to twenty times faster. The secret is in combining age-old horticultural wisdom with digital, state-of-the-art growing technology.

A formula for smarter growing.

Accelerated growth. Improved survival rates. “Root Biomass Cropping.™” “Whole Plant Biotransformation.™” Energy efficiency. These are the roots of the technology’s success. The Airponic Growing System pulse-mists a nutrient solution to the plant’s root zone, utilizing the Plant Cycle™ technology—an advanced system that maintains precise nutrient, pH and temperature levels. All with 100% water recycling. And 0% toxic waste runoff.

Seedling production can be enhanced using the Airponic Growing System. Production schedules in the AGS can be quantified providing the regular production of thousands of seedlings for transplant and grow-out.

Airponic Software.

The Airponic software is programmed to deliver the exact nutrient requirements for each species. So the system can be tailored to a wide variety of plants—and a wide variety of projects:

Greenhouse and nursery growing.

From food crops to foliage, plants grow faster—and healthier—in Airponic chambers than in conventional, soil-based nurseries. The System regularly produces higher quantities of plants—and permits year-round harvesting of a variety of plant species.

Just as important, the Airponic method boosts the per-square-foot yield of the modern greenhouse. Airponic growing achieves seed germination rates of up to 5,000 plants per chamber a wide variety of plant crops. With superior germinating ratios at such high densities, the technology can significantly increase the number of harvestable crops per year.

Reforestation and reclamation projects.

The Airponic process is the fastest way to replicate endangered plant species and help regenerate affected areas. Because the system asexually propagates indigenous plant species quickly, high costs of importation and storage can be avoided, as large volumes of healthy, vigorous seedlings can be grown on-site. The AGS can utilize any indigenous cultivar as “mother stock,” so a controlled regeneration process can speed ahead. Finally, there’s an effective, economical way to regenerate whole forests.

Airponic Advantages

The AGS boosts yields by significantly reducing propagation time—particularly in plants reproduced asexually from cuttings. For example, a tomato cutting grown in an Airponic chamber will be ready for transplant to soil in just six days. The conventional grower would have to wait nearly six more weeks to reach the same result.

In the AGS, the production capacity of the system is keyed to the propagation cycle of each plant species. So the Airponic system can take full advantage of its faster growing time. Compared to conventional growing, the AGS can deliver more crops per year, more plants per square foot.

Healthier plants with Airponic growing.

The AGS not only grows plants faster than the hydroponic method, it grows them healthier, too. Plants in the Airponic Growing System do not come in direct, constant contact with the nutrient solution. In this way, diseases carried by water-borne or other media-borne pathogens are effectively avoided.

Bioponic’s Plant Cycle filtration system eliminates organic contamination while preserving the nutrient solution’s content and balance. Our formulas includes purifying additives which prevent fungal molds from forming in the growing environment, a critical step in the accelerated growing process.

Because of the high oxygenation of the Airponic nutrient stream, the System requires a fraction of the nutrients required in other growing methods. Unlike hydroponics, there’s never a toxic build-up from chemical salts— preserving water quality and meeting stringent environmental standards. The Airponic Growing System provides the ideal environment for accelerated growth. Suspending the root systems of the plants in air boosts the oxygen level and enhances the growing process.
