Growing plants need good quality water in order to thrive but very often they suffer because the irrigation water is heavily contaminated with the pathogens that abound in river and lagoons. Pathogens such as Ralstonia solanacearum, which causes potato brown rot, and well known water pathogens such as Pythium and Phytophthora can be destroyed by disinfecting river and lagoon water with Biox.

Even distribution of water throughout production areas cannot be achieved if spray nozzles, valves cooler pads and indeed the whole distribution network are blocked with biofilm and sludge. This sludge increases the number and types of pathogens which may affect your plants but it can be removed easily by regular use of Biox.
 

 

 

Biox

 

Biox is a powerful oxidising biocide which is so safe it is used and approved for use as a drinking water disinfectant.
 Biox is applied with a food-grade activator to provide a powerful, broad spectrum Bactericide, Fungicide, Algaecide, Sporicide and Viricide.
 Biox can be used very easily – it can be dosed automatically using any one of a number of easy to use automatic generators or it can be mixed manually on site.
 Biox leaves no measurable residue on food so is used on a wide variety of food. There are no resistant pathogens so it can be used continuously without the need for alternative chemicals.The efficacy of Biox is not affected by the pH of the water and it does not combine with ammonia or organics so unlike chlorine it does not form carcinogenic compounds. . It acts within seconds so ideal for use in all food produce operations both for disinfection of food and hard surface working areas.
