Use of Molisan disinfectant solution in agriculture

Description

• Disinfecting plant produce — salads, herbs, vegetables and fruit — and extending its storage life; disinfecting fruit and berry raw materials and extending their storage life;
• Extending the storage life of cut flowers;
• Disinfecting grain before storage;
• Disinfecting seeds and seedlings before sowing and planting (wheat, oats, barley, sunflower, maize, onion, tomato, cucumber, potato and others);
• Preparing and storing feed/silage;
• Producing a defoliant for treating cotton;
• Treating irrigation water and water conditioning; reducing wastewater toxicity;
• Controlling agricultural pests (greenhouse whitefly, aphids, root-knot nematodes) and plant diseases (root rot, wilt);
• Increasing crop yields and field germination.

Storage of vegetables and fruit

Before placing vegetables and fruit in storage facilities or cellars for long-term storage, treat them with Molisan disinfectant solution (20 litres per tonne) and dry them. In storage facilities, periodic, even treatment of vegetables and fruit with Molisan disinfectant solution is recommended. The storage area and containers should also be treated before loading. Storage life increases significantly. Vegetables and fruit do not rot or lose vitamins. This treatment is completely harmless.

Silage treatment

After anolyte is used, the resulting silage or hay meets Grade 1 quality or exceeds it in carotene, sugar and feed-unit content. Feed preservation improved by 40%. A feature of using Molisan disinfectant solution as a preservative is that any grass mixture, including legumes, can be stored as hay or silage. The storage period for vegetables and fruit is 1–1.5 months. Neutral anolyte suppresses pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium, Alternaria, Penicillium, Botrytis and Monilia. The active chlorine concentration in Molisan disinfectant solution for storing grain, feed, vegetables and fruit is 300–500 mg/L.

Seed treatment

Molisan disinfectant solution has strong fungicidal properties. Treating seeds at a rate of 20 litres per tonne significantly reduces external and internal infection by fungi of the genera Fusarium, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Mukor, Penicilium and others. Seeds can also be treated with neutral anolyte solution before planting as follows:
• • Pour in Molisan disinfectant solution, stir, and after a few minutes collect and remove the seeds that float to the surface (poor-quality seeds);
• • Leave the remaining seeds for another 2–4 hours (disinfection);
• • Drain the liquid, rinse the seeds with ordinary water, dry them for 2–3 hours and plant them. If the soil appears to be infected and plants wilt and become sick compared with others, water thoroughly once with Molisan disinfectant solution, then continue watering.
• As a result, seeds are cleaned and disinfected, and disease resistance increases. Compared with imported disinfectants, cereal seed germination increases by 10–15%, and germination vigour by 25–30%. Neutral anolyte solutions are environmentally friendly: after their exposure time ends, they become ordinary water and do not accumulate in plants. The active chlorine concentration in Molisan disinfectant solution for pre-sowing seed treatment is 300–500 mg/L.

Treatment of berry and fruit crops

In early spring, spray currant, gooseberry, raspberry and other bushes, as well as fruit trees, with Molisan disinfectant solution before leaves appear. This prevents fungal diseases.

Treatment of potato tubers

Before planting, spray seed potato tubers with Molisan disinfectant solution, then air-dry them. This increases resistance to late blight, improves yield and enhances flavour.

Fungus

Used at every stage: growing mycelium (spawn), growing the mushrooms themselves, and storing produce. The yield of finished produce and the storage life of mushrooms both increase at least twofold. Treating (spraying) rooms where mycelium is placed and mushrooms are grown with Molisan disinfectant solution significantly reduces airborne fungal spores.

Extending the “life” of cut flowers

Add Molisan disinfectant solution to the water holding flowers at a rate of 50–100 ml per 1 litre of water. Plants can also be sprayed with Molisan disinfectant solution diluted threefold with water.
