Case study
Field trial: Plant
Water saving, Germination
Horticulture
SERRES MUNICIPALES DE RENNES
Rennes (35)
March 2022 - May 2022
Protocol
- Periwinkle seedling beds
- Similar watering reduced by 30% in volume compared to requirements
- Borehole water with or without LM
Observation
- More sprouts with LM water
- Greater seedbed biomass with LM water
Left tank: TEMOIN water sprinkler (-30% in volume)
3 tanks on right: LM water irrigation (-30% in volume)
Conclusion
In water-limited conditions, LM water improves the germination rate of periwinkle seeds.
