The document summarizes research on using super oxygenated water for irrigation in high tunnel tomato and strawberry production. The research found that maintaining oxygen levels at 12 ppm in irrigation water increased strawberry yields by 18.3% and tomato yields by 15.8% through mid-September, due to higher fruit numbers rather than size. The yield increases were smaller after mid-September with cooler temperatures. Overall, oxygenated water increased total strawberry yields by 6.6% and tomato yields by 8.4% for the season.
