Why the trial began
After losing an entire gourmet tomato crop in the previous season, Dr Stenberg pursued an out-of-season crop opportunity and introduced the historical EX10D technology into the growing environment.
The setting and historical deployment
A practical decision.
A real farm environment.
Ferny Glen Produce operated commercial hydroponic and crop systems in a subtropical environment exposed to summer heat, winter cold snaps and frost.
South-East Queensland, Australia

How it was deployed
The historical 316L stainless-steel flat-plate emitters were passive, non-powered and required no wiring or modifications.

- Placed across hydroponic growing zones
- Positioned near the main irrigation water supply
- Used with tomatoes, vegetables, ornamentals and nursery plants

From observation to validation
The framework is simple: observe, document, form a testable question, replicate using structured comparison, and independently verify wherever possible.

Historical observations do not, by themselves, establish causation, mechanism or universal performance. Results may vary between properties, crops, seasons and conditions. Independent validation is encouraged.
