ALSTASAN SILVOX (Silver Hydrogen Peroxide based Biodegradable Floriculture Disinfectant) addresses the following areas of concern without causing harmful/toxic effects.

 

Method of application:

Soil fumigation:

A solution of this disinfectant is applied uniformly on the moistened soil beds. Helps in the treatment of the following:

  • Black rot, by Phytophthora sp. causes water soaked green to black rots on entire foliage, with white visible mycelium on the infected tissues
  • Fusarium sp. causes Root and Stem Rot identified by brown root lesions whose infection begins from the root apex, drying out the entire stem and eventually cracks out the entire stem

Regular treatment by Drip method:

The disinfectant is added to irrigation water and fed to the soil bed through drip line. It is advised to repeat this process once in every 15 days.

  • Black rot, by Phytophthora sp. causes water soaked green to black rots on entire foliage, with white visible mycelium on the infected tissues
  • Anthracnose, identified by sunken dark brown spots on the entire foliage, premature fruit drop and damage; symptoms spread from the apex to the other parts, caused by Colletotrichum sp.

Regular treatment by Drench method:

A fair dilution of the disinfectant is made and the solution is drenched to each plant every 15-30 days. Helps in treating the following diseases:

  • Fusarium sp. causes Root and Stem Rot identified by brown root lesions whose infection begins from the root apex, drying out the entire stem and eventually cracks out the entire stem
  • Anthracnose, identified by sunken dark brown spots on the entire foliage, premature fruit drop and damage; symptoms spread from the apex to the other parts, caused by Colletotrichum sp.
