2016, Vital Seeds fortifies the PoG with unique disinfection means known as “Solution For Closed Irrigation Systems”:The Potato Incubator utilizes state of the art aeroponic closed irrigation system. As is the case in any advanced hydroponic irrigation system, water cleanliness and disinfection is paramount to healthy crop and yield maximization, which according to anecdotal data is difficult to maintain and especially in warm climate like the prevailing one in the Middle East. Recognizing this immanent impediment, in addition to UV filtration, Vital Seeds deployed a unique nontoxic environmentally friendly green technology “Purioxide”, a technology of NorStar Corporation, and procedures that guarantees complete system-wide disinfection. This development made it possible for Vital Seeds to deploy PoG to produce clean potato seed in environments and geographical areas in which such production would not have been possible in the past.
2017, Vital Seeds with the help of NorStar Corporation equips the PoG with high-pressure aeroponic irrigation (AKA, fogoponic or aeroponic 2.0):
The PoG operating at a working pressure of 50 to 70 bar becomes the first commercial aeroponic system operating at the most optimal nutrient delivery means researched by NASA. The PoG’s irrigation system delivers nutrients with aeroponic aerosols that are 30μm in diameter, which according a NASA’s research the most optimal size for root development and nutrient absorption.
2018, Vital Seeds develops a fertilizer formula that has been proven to maximize yield and streamline fertilizer application through the development stages of potato plants.
