NUTRICLEAN
|
mushroom farms and glasshouses. All active ingredients in this product are naturally occurring.
Available in 1 gallon to 275 gallon sizes.
MODES OF ACTION |
||||
| • Natural oils
within Nutriclean engulf spores and render them nonviable. • Cleaning agent and detergent action created by natural oils within NutriClean which clean surfaces thoroughly. |
||||
HOW IT WORKS |
||||
| • Penetrating action into surfaces is created by the use of
natural surfacants which help to reduce the surface tension
and allow the anti-fungal component to penetrate unwanted
spores and mycelium. • Protective action created when NutriClean dries and leaves a film. This has a waterproofing action on surfaces such as concrete, brick, etc. and halts mold development. |

FOGGING
Because of its safe nature, many growers are now using fogging as a method of application at the end of a crop, either in conjunction with spraying or with more economical steam regimes. The fog produced is remarkably effective, as like steam, it gets into all parts of the growing room, including ventilation equipment. Fogging is very economic, due to small amounts needed compared to spraying.
THE FUTURE
Disinfection and cleaning down is a basic part of everyday growing. Steam has long been the most important hygiene control against molds, but with large hikes in fuel prices, it is becoming more and more cost prohibitive.
Combined with this, the safety issues handling phenols, peroxides and aldehydes together with the new EU legislation coming means that environmentally friendly disinfectants will play an increasing role in the future.(PPR).
