With Hydrogen Peroxide
For control of fungal pathogens that can cause devastating diseases in agriculture
The fungal pathogens tabled below are responsible for various diseases that have developed resistance to fungicides, challenging agronomists and growers. Using Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) in combination with the highly penetrable REMEDiAg OCC is a viable solution and zero residue approach for protection against diseases caused by fungal and viral pathogens.
In December 2020, Singapore's National Parks Division of Plant Sciences and Health conducted an in vitro experiment on fungal pathogens prevalent in the city. The experiment aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combining 1% and 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) with REMEDiAg OCC for use as a sustainable and safe alternative to fungicides in their national parks. Below is the summary of their results.
The results showed that by using REMEDiAg OCC with Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) at a concentration of 1% or 3% it had a controlled efficacy that exceeding the commonly used Benomyl fungicide. At a 3% H₂O₂ concentration with REMEDiAg OCC, 100% control is evident on all five fungal pathogens.
For mitigation of soil born fungal diseases and nematodes
Soil drench: Elimination of fusarium induced diseases
In February 2020, a major exporter of fresh produce and fruit in Mexico, faced severe fusarium contaminated soil in several contract berry farms. The exporter came up with a novel approach to mitigate the problem by combining Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) with REMEDiAg OCC as a soil drench.
REMEDiAg OCC facilitates the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) thereby releasing a single oxygen molecule (O) that eradicates the harmful fungal pathogens and leaves only water (H₂O) in the soil as residue i.e there is no toxic waste!
Before moving to full implementation of this new concept, the exporter conducted laboratory tests on compromised soil extracted from their farm. The following results show the state of soil pathogens before and after the soil drench treatment and speak for themselves.
