Growers and Cultivation
The issue
Whether you’re growing ornamental plants, cannabis, or food, mold, bacteria, and other pathogens can be your worst enemy. Spoilage microbes can cause food to rot quicker, leading to huge losses of profit, and large amounts of waste in the food vertical.
Pathogenic bacteria or viruses in the growing environment can cause sickness in food. A failed microbial analysis can cause the loss of part of, or even a whole crop. Ornamental plant diseases can destroy your beautiful flowers.
Solution

Related Case Study
Validation of the use of chlorine dioxide in reducing microbial contamination on raw fruits and vegetables
Sanitize and disinfect food-contact surfaces, keep food fresh longer, and eliminate food borne pathogens. Pure chlorine dioxide from SMT. Selective Micro validated use of pure chlorine dioxide in reducing microbial contamination on raw fruits and vegetables. Pure chlorine dioxide was tested at 5ppm concentration and for total 1 minute contact time. The experiment was to determine the antimicrobial properties of pure chlorine dioxide after drop-spotting inoculation over each surface of raw agricultural commodity (RAC).
