Disinfection in Apple Cultivation

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

Method of application:

Regular treatment by Spray method:

A solution of the disinfectant is made and sprayed on the apple plants once in every 7-15 days which helps in the treatment of the following diseases: 

• Cedar apple rust by Gymnosporangium juniperivirginianae causes bright yellow-orange spots on leaves and fruits with cup like aecia on the undersides from which spores are released
• Apple Scab, by Venturia inaequalis identified by olive green to brown leaf lesions. With age, the leaves wilt and appear distorted 
• Powdery mildew results in a dusty white velvety coating on leaves and fruit, caused by Podosphaera leucotricha
• Anthracnose/ Bull's eye rot, by Cryptosporiopsis curvispora is seen as small sunken water soaked lesions on the fruit surfaces, light brown in colour
• Blister Spot, by Psuedomonas syringae, seen as small green blisters on apple buds and fruits
• Fire Blight, by Erwinia amylovora, is noticed by black scorched twigs and leaves 
• Crown gall identified as large outgrowths above the soil line on the stem, between the root and stem, is caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens 

Soil fumigation/ Oxy-fumigation:

Disinfection in apple cultivation by soil fumigation method is done by spraying a diluted solution of Alstasan Silvox uniformly on the moistened soil beds dug in pits. Helps in the treatment of the following:

• Apple Scab, by Venturia inaequalis identified by olive green to brown leaf lesions. With age, the leaves wilt and appear distorted 
• Blister Spot, by Psuedomonas syringae, seen as small green blisters on apple buds and fruits
• Crown gall identified as large outgrowths above the soil line on the stem, between the root and stem, is caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens 
• Bacterial Wilt, identified by yellow wilted leaves resulting in defoliation. It is caused by Pseudomonas solanacearum  

Regular treatment by Drip method:

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

• Phytophthora crown and root rot, by Phytophthora sp., causes wilting; reduces growth; discolouration of bark
• Anthracnose/ Bull's eye rot, by Cryptosporiopsis curvispora is seen s small sunken water soaked lesions on the fruit surfaces, light brown in colour
• Bacterial Wilt, identified by yellow wilted leaves resulting in defoliation. It is caused by Pseudomonas solanacearum
