Key Takeaways

  • Edible Garden’s nanobubble trial at its Belvidere, New Jersey facility shows up to 55% yield increase.
  • Harvest cycle times reduced by 30%, enabling faster production and improved efficiency.
  • Enhanced plant health, with stronger root development and reduced biofilm in irrigation systems.
  • Nanobubble technology improves water oxygenation, nutrient uptake, and pathogen control.
  • Edible Garden plans to expand nanobubble technology across its operations for greater sustainability and efficiency.

Nanobubble Technology Shows Promising Results in Edible Garden’s Trial

Edible Garden AG Incorporated (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), has announced preliminary findings from its nanobubble technology trial conducted in partnership with Brisea Group Inc., the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation, and Technology (CSIT), and the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).

The demonstration project, conducted at Edible Garden’s Belvidere, New Jersey facility, aims to assess the impact of nanobubble technology on crop yield, efficiency, and sustainability. Initial results indicate significant improvements across key metrics.

What is Nanobubble Technology?

Nanobubble technology enhances water oxygenation, improves nutrient uptake, and strengthens pathogen control. Research from the USDA and EPA has already demonstrated that nanobubbles:

  • Improve plant uniformity
  • Accelerate growth rates
  • Create a healthier root environment

Key Findings from the Edible Garden Nanobubble Trial

Higher Yields & Faster Production

Up to 55% increase in yield compared to traditional irrigation methods
30% reduction in harvest cycle time, enabling faster production

Improved Plant Health & Sustainability

Stronger root development, leading to healthier, more resilient plants
Reduced biofilm in irrigation systems, preventing clogs and contamination
More efficient water and nutrient delivery, reducing resource consumption


Edible Garden’s Commitment to Sustainable Innovation

“These preliminary results reinforce our confidence in the transformative potential of nanobubble technology to revolutionize sustainable agriculture,” said Jim Kras, CEO of Edible Garden. “The noteworthy increases in yield and reductions in harvest cycle time align perfectly with Edible Garden’s Zero-Waste Inspired® farming principles.”

By integrating nanobubble technology into its irrigation systems, Edible Garden is achieving:

  • Greater efficiency in water and nutrient use
  • Reduced environmental impact
  • Stronger, healthier plants

“The fact that the equipment payback period is under three months makes this an incredibly attractive and scalable solution for growers everywhere,” Kras added.


Next Steps: Expanding Nanobubble Technology in Agriculture

Looking ahead, Edible Garden is committed to:
📈 Further validating and refining nanobubble technology with Brisea, CSIT, and NJIT
🌱 Expanding nanobubble technology across its CEA operations
🌍 Driving innovation in sustainable farming to enhance food security, sustainability, and efficiency

“As we move forward, we look forward to exploring ways to apply nanobubbles across our operations and beyond,” said Kras. “We are striving to set new industry standards for efficiency, sustainability, and food safety.”
