Substantial savings of fertilizers and phytosanitary products

High performance with brackish water

Repulsive effect on nematodes Elimination of deposits and clogging

(fertilizers, scaling, iron, manganese) Prevention and elimination of

biofilms in irrigation networks

A sustainable and ecological solution to increase the profitability of farms

Water properties

3

Electrical dipole Hydrogen bridge

Water, due to its properties, is very sensitive to electromagnetic fields

Water, at the base of the life, is the most current of the liquids but remains diverting and mysterious from its anomalies.

Aqua-4D® principle

4

Planet Horizons Technologies patented key know-how is the frequency and intensity combinations which can resolve specific problems.

Because of its dipole properties, water behaves like a magnet and can be influenced (electro-) magnetically.

Effect on the retention potential of water in the soil

5

The soil can stock more water Less losses of water The effect can be crucial during droughts

Soil cultures - Irrigation

6

Improved fertilizer dissolution in water and soil

Minerals available for the plant under amorphous form

Stronger development of the roots, better absorption capability

Greater resistance to root diseases Crystallization of minerals

30% losses of water and fertilizers

Reference Treated with Aqua-4D®

Water + Fertilizer

Less than 10% losses of water and fertilizers

Hydroponic cultures

7

Strong root growth : Increased resistance against root

diseases and root rot Reduced salt toxicity, reduced limestone

and fertilizers

The water is continuously recycled: Increased salts concentration Increased concentration of some toxic

elements Crystallization of salt, toxic for plants and

roots

Substantial savings of fertilizers and phytosanitary products

8

With Without

Aqua-4D® allows a major reduction (30 to 50%) of fertilizers, acids and phytosanitary products usage, thanks to: A better solubilisation of additives

(minerals) in water A stronger radicular growth

High performance in brackish water

With Without « ... Instead of investing in reverse osmosis….... ... With water from geothermical source and very brackish, we have managed to reduce the intake of fertilizers by 25% with increased yields of tomatoes while getting rid of scale in our water pipes. » Hassan Akhrass El Hamma - Tunisia

Repulsive effect on nematodes

10

10 samples checked.

All samples without Aqua-4D® treatment suffered all from nematodes attacks. With Aqua-4D® none.

Fields were next to each other

(identical conditions)

Trials of Dr.Stielow, organic agriculture consultant Hamburg

Pipes are free from scale, corrosion and biofilms

11

Aqua-4D® modifies the crystalline structure of scale and the electrical charges at the interfaces in order to eliminate existing deposits and prevent creation of new ones

Passivation of internal surfaces in pipes protects from corrosion

Existing biofilm is detached and new biofilm is inhibited

The combined effect (corrosion, scaling and biofilm) prevents the proliferation of bacteria

Aqua-4D® Protection of equipments

Aqua-4D® water treatment system

12

The Aqua-4D® technology works with any water chemistry and degree of hardness.

Effects are obtained with all pipe materials such as steel, copper, plastic …

The efficiency is observed over several kilometers of pipe from a single installation.

A pre-programmed Command module to generate the signals.

Special Tubes to transmit the signals to the aquatic environment. Depending on the maximum flow rate, a specific number of parallel Tubes is required.

Two basic modules: An almost unlimited use ....
