The effect of lifting DO level for the production of Kiwi Fruit through irrigation.
Kiwi fruit plants require oxygen for their root respiration and nutrient uptake, and higher dissolved oxygen (DO) levels can help promote root growth and increase yields. The effect of lifting DO levels on kiwi fruit production through irrigation would depend on various factors such as soil type, irrigation system, and nutrient availability.
In general, increasing DO levels above the typical range can lead to the development of oxidative stress, which can reduce kiwi fruit yield. Additionally, other factors such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and nutrient availability can also impact yield.
That being said, some studies have suggested that increasing DO levels in irrigation water can result in improved kiwi fruit yield. For example, a study published in the Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science found that increasing DO levels in irrigation water from 7 ppm to 15 ppm significantly improved kiwi fruit yield. The study attributed this increase in yield to improved root growth and nutrient uptake in the kiwi plants.
Another study published in the Journal of Agricultural Science found that increasing DO levels in irrigation water from 5 ppm to 12 ppm improved the growth and yield of kiwi fruit plants, and also resulted in a higher concentration of soluble solids in the fruits.
In summary, increasing DO levels in irrigation water may contribute to increasing kiwi fruit yield through improved root growth and nutrient uptake. However, the impact of higher DO levels on kiwi fruit yield will depend on various factors, and it’s difficult to provide a specific quantitative estimate without more information about the specific growing conditions and irrigation system.

The effect of Ozone and hydroxyl radicals in water for the production of Kiwi Fruit through irrigation
Ozone and hydroxyl radicals in water can have both positive and negative effects on the production of kiwi fruit through irrigation. Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent that can be used to disinfect irrigation water and control plant pathogens. Hydroxyl radicals are also strong oxidizing agents and are known to promote plant growth and yield. However, the use of ozone and hydroxyl radicals in irrigation water can also have negative effects on plant growth and yield if used improperly or at high concentrations.
