Chlorine Dioxide In Agriculture
The use of chlorine dioxide in agricultural water helps to achieve rapid and long-lasting disinfection by eliminating microorganisms present in the water. It prevents the formation of harmful elements such as biofilm layers, fungi, algae, bacteria, and viruses in tanks, reservoirs, and pipes where water is stored and circulated in irrigation systems. This leads to improved product quality and increased yield. For example, in tomato cultivation, applying chlorine dioxide within 1-2 weeks after transplanting helps control diseases caused by pathogens such as Rhizoctania, Fusarium, Phythium, and Alternaria. These diseases do not appear during the following month.
Taking tomato cultivation as another example, the advanced stage of Fusarium disease can cause significant damage to tomato plants and is challenging to control with conventional methods. By applying chlorine dioxide from the early stages of planting, Fusarium can be effectively controlled, preventing the disease from occurring and minimizing the need for excessive chemical treatments. This approach has shown success rates of up to 80% in reducing damage caused by the disease. Furthermore, chlorine dioxide does not leave residues or cause phototoxicity, ensuring the safety and quality of agricultural products, including those intended for export. Even if the disease is already present, applying chlorine dioxide can prevent its spread to healthy plants.
When Chlorine Dioxide is Applied to Soil
Organic agriculture avoids the use of chemical additives, which is why disinfectants like chlorine dioxide are used. When applied to the soil and activated through irrigation, chlorine dioxide provides long-lasting protection against bacteria, fungi, and nematodes.
In storage areas, spraying chlorine dioxide can effectively eliminate bacteria that may contaminate products such as vegetables, fruits, and flowers. This helps extend the shelf life of the products. Chlorine dioxide subsequently evaporates without leaving residues.
By utilizing chlorine dioxide in organic farming practices, farmers can achieve microbial control and reduce the risks associated with pathogens, all while adhering to organic farming principles.
Use of Chlorine Dioxide After Harvest
It eliminates all bacteria on the surface of the contacted plant. Afterwards, it evaporates and disappears, leaving no residue behind.
