Oxine® Horticulture is an EPA registered sanitizer and disinfectant for use in greenhouse and horticultural facility irrigation water and on hard surfaces. In this post, Key Solutions Group will focus on full-time irrigation applications and benefits.

It has been well documented that many types of problematic fungi, bacteria and viruses thrive and multiply in algae and biofilm rich environments. If a grower can prevent algae and biofilm, you’ve eliminated the breeding grounds for microorganisms that negatively impact yield and ongoing radical chemical intervention by staff.

Oxine Horticulture proprietary technology and patented activation equipment, delivers unmatched consistency at plant safe levels from point of injection, throughout the entire irrigation system including emitters, all the way to the plants root zone. Utilizing Oxine Horticulture in irrigation lines also eliminates the need to overnight soak irrigation lines between grows…reduce downtime and increase labor savings.

1) Prevention, a key attribute of Oxine Horticulture, due to its ability to be highly effective at an extremely low ppm, destroys algae colonies, therefore, preventing biofilm buildup in irrigation lines…all at plant safe levels. A side benefit that many clients have mentioned to Key Solutions Group, is when treated irrigation water seeps from growing media onto grow tables, this also eliminates surface algae, the food source of fungus gnats.

2) Remediation, another key attribute of Oxine Horticulture, is its ability to destroy existing biofilm very easily in previously used irrigation lines. Growers have two options with this situation dependent on their needs. (HINT: Due to the pH differences, biofilm sees the Oxine® Horticulture unique chemistry as food, therefore, Oxine® Horticulture easily destroys biofilm from within.)

Oxine Horticulture provides many irrigation and hard surface benefits unlike any other yet is user friendly for employees. Oxine Horticulture is safer to handle, mix and apply than many sanitizers on the market. Growers can reduce their overall chemical use and hazard storage zones, while realizing significant cost savings and providing a safer environment for staff with Oxine Horticulture.

Whether your facility is a greenhouse, CEA, or vertical farm environment, growing cannabis or tomatoes, improve your entire facility hygiene and simplify your chemical needs with Oxine® Horticulture…one product, multiple solutions, array of proven applications.
