Hydrogen-Rich Irrigation for Commercial Glasshouses
A water-quality addition to the irrigation and fertigation system already installed in your head house. HERO Irrigation treats the pressurised feed line — 20 L/min (5.3 gal/min) at 3,000–5,000 ppb dissolved hydrogen — and the treated water reaches the crop through the same drip, dripper-stake or micro-irrigation hardware you run today.
Supplied worldwide by YBG Global at a fixed $16,311 DDP price — freight, duties and remote-guided commissioning included, by card or against a purchase order. Full product specifications live on the HERO Irrigation product page.

Unscripted output verification. A standard production unit running into a small vessel — the visible milky plume is the nano-bubble output itself, at the same 20 L/min and 3,000–5,000 ppb rated on the line. No edit, no narration, no studio. Full footage and context →
Every order is personally reviewed before dispatch. Not a queue and not a call centre: the founder checks your destination, supply voltage and in-line connection against the order, and follows up with you directly before anything ships. That is the advantage of buying from a small, accountable engineering operation rather than a distributor.

Installation & operation
Hydrogen-rich glasshouse irrigation means dosing the glasshouse irrigation feed with molecular hydrogen at nano-bubble scale, so water reaching the root zone carries 3,000–5,000 ppb of dissolved hydrogen (sensor-verified) instead of none. The HERO Irrigation WZ-S generates it on demand by PEM/SPE electrolysis at 99.99% purity and injects it in-line at 20 L/min (5.3 gal/min) on the existing pressurised main in the head house, without altering EC, pH or nutrient recipes. YBG Global makes no yield claim: the machine's output, purity and in-line stability are instrumented and certified, while crop-response evidence is limited to reported independent trials — most relevantly a peer-reviewed glasshouse cherry-tomato study in South Korea, with a six-year rice programme in China as secondary support. No multi-season commercial glasshouse trial is on file, and that is stated as an open gap.

It runs alongside your irrigation and fertigation system
YBG Global does not supply irrigation hardware, climate computers or fertigation controllers, and does not ask you to change the ones you have. If your house runs Netafim, Priva, Certhon or any other commercial greenhouse irrigation, fertigation or climate-control infrastructure, that stays exactly as commissioned. HERO Irrigation connects in-line on the pressurised main in the head house and treats the water passing through it — a water-quality dimension those systems do not address, rather than a competing way of delivering or scheduling water.
No change to delivery or control hardware
Drippers, dripper stakes, gutters, mats, valves, filters and irrigation scheduling are untouched. Zone design and emitter selection remain your irrigation designer's decision.Fertigation and EC/pH control untouched
Injection sits in-line on the feed main; dosing units, mixing tanks and nutrient recipes continue as configured. Hydrogen is not an oxidant — it does not scavenge, bleach or react with nutrient chemistry, and it does not shift EC.Recirculating or drain-to-waste
Both layouts are supported. Treatment happens on the feed side, so return-line disinfection, filtration and drain analysis continue exactly as designed.Head-house footprint, single-phase power
550 × 350 × 970 mm (21.7 × 13.8 × 38.2 in), caster-mounted, 800 W from a standard single-phase supply — realistic for a plant-room bay without a three-phase upgrade.Trial data, on the record
Hydrogen-rich water irrigation has been studied across a range of crops and trial designs. These are the two strongest data points on file — independently run, and verifiable at the source.
Rice — Qingpu, Shanghai
Run jointly with an industrial partner and an agricultural university, recording an average yield increase of 18.8% with reduced lodging and disease incidence across the programme.
Cherry tomato — two-year controlled study
Yield and single-fruit weight significantly higher than a conventional-fertiliser control group, alongside improved root-zone microbial activity.
These are independent trial results, not a yield guarantee — commercial outcomes vary with crop, climate and growing practice. The full evidence file, with sources and an honest note on evidence quality, is maintained at hydrogenmachines.com.au/HERO-Irrigation.
For protected cropping the most directly relevant of these is the peer-reviewed South Korean cherry-tomato work — a glasshouse-grown crop, irrigation-delivered, run against a conventional-fertiliser control over two years. The six-year rice programme is reported here as secondary supporting evidence from a different crop and growing system. Both are reported trial results, not a promise of what your house will do, and no multi-season trial across a commercial glasshouse portfolio is on file. What is documented to instrument grade is the machine: dissolved-hydrogen concentration, 99.99% purity, output rate and in-line stability are measured and certified, and the mechanism is set out on the hydrogen nano-bubble technology page. The background explainer on water composition as a managed variable is on hydrogen-rich glasshouse irrigation.
Pair irrigation with Climate Systems — one engineering team for both
A heated glasshouse burns fuel as well as pumping water: climate boilers, CO₂ dosing plant, propagation houses and processing or packing facilities. YBG Global's Climate Systems oxyhydrogen generators retrofit to an existing boiler's combustion-air stream — no burner replacement, no re-tubing, no stored gas — so the water side and the heat side of the site can be addressed by the same supplier under one commercial agreement.
