Purolyt is a surface disinfectant for greenhouse and agricultural applications. Hygiene is a basic prerequisite for a successful cultivation of plants as well as for the production of safe foods. Implementing preventive hygiene measures in plant cultivation considerably reduces the likelihood of infections, and, as a consequence, the use of pesticides. At the same time, the chances of a successful biocontrol will increase.
Surface Disinfection in Greenhouses
Greenhouses and the installations contained therein (benches, tables, floor spaces, etc.) need to be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis in order to prevent phytosanitary issues and to make sure that the produced foods are hygienic. This also applies for other buildings and installations used for in-house production (e.g. mushroom cultivation, sprouting chicory, etc.) as well as buildings and installations used for drying or storing the harvest.
Disinfection of Tools
A proper disinfection is particularly important for cutting tools like knifes or scissors in order to prevent a possible transmission of diseases to healthy plants with these tools. This applies in particular to the propagation by cuttings, where a correct disinfection of the cutting tools is imperative.
Disinfection of Equipment and Machines
If equipment like trays, containers, pots, etc. is intended to be used multiple times, it will have to be cleaned thoroughly and subsequently disinfected. Otherwise, there is a risk that soil-transmitted diseases will develop over time. Any equipment used to transport and to store the harvest, e.g. boxes, storage rooms and fridges, has to be kept clean and needs to be disinfected. The object is to ensure food safety and a healthy harvest.
Disinfection in the Field of Food and Animal Feed
Purolyt is suitable for use in the field of food and animal feed. Hence, Purolyt may be used to disinfect facilities, containers, plates, glasses and cutlery, surfaces and supply lines used in connection with producing, transporting, storing or consuming food or feed (including drinking water) for humans and animals.
