Hi,

I was wondering if someone could take a look for me, what does " bubble gas through the water" mean in this context?

Thanks for your help.

Professor ... So, if you just stick rye plants in water, it doesn't make a difference how much fertilizer you add, you also need to bubble gas through the water, so they have access to that oxyen. If they don't have that, they're in big trouble. Ok, so this guy - this scientist - grew a rye plant in water so he could see the root system how big it got - its surface area. ...

I guess it's to do with hydroponics. It seems you need a pump to oxygenate the water that the plants grow in - similar to the set-up in a fish tank.

'Used with an air stone, air pumps add beneficial oxygen to the nutrient solution of your hydroponics system. By adding oxygen, you’ll encourage a healthy root system and increased growth rates...' bghydro.com

('Bubble' is a verb in the phrase you're asking about.)
