The answer to disease pressure in ornamentals
Fungi such as Fusarium, Pythium, and Phytophthora cause many failures and loss of yield in ornamental plant cultivation. Good greenhouse hygiene is critical in preventing infection. It’s also important to meet the required certifications, and create a safe working environment for people.
HortiHygienz provides a total solution by focusing on five pillars: Crop Rotation, People, Materials, Water quality, and Responsibility & Sustainability.
Employees or visitors can inadvertently bring in bacteria, fungi, or viruses on their hands, shoes and clothing. Good hygiene practices and the right measures during crop operations can prevent this.
After plants are harvested and removed from the greenhouse, it’s an ideal time to thoroughly clean and disinfect all the stands and cultivation materials. This tackles bacteria, fungi and viruses, and enables a clean start of the new cultivation.
Items such as harvesting trolleys, tools, fork-lift trucks and crates can introduce or spread pathogens. Not only ensuring proper cleaning and disinfection important, but aligning with suppliers and manufactures of these products is key.
Bacteria, fungi, and viruses can spread through a nursery with lightning speed via the (pouring) water. A clean water system, with optimum water quality, is crucial to preventing this.
HortiHygienz uses tested and approved cleaning and disinfection agents. After all, growers want a safe environment for their employees, to meet their customers requirements, and to be able to use their materials and greenhouse equipment for as long as possible.
