FREEBAC is very interesting biocide for horticultural purpuses as it contains no metals of any kind. All it’s ingredienst are food-safe and will break down inwater water, oxygen and safe minerals which can be readily absorbed by plants. & soil micro-organisms

 

WATER TREATMENT:

We have used FREEBAC in irrigation water at dosages of 20 - 50 ml/m3 to ensure low levels of micro-organisms. This is of vital importance to prevent spread of disease from irrigation water. In greenhouses it is used as control for Legionella due to health and safety regulations.

 

CROP PROTECTION:

Freebac was tested with great success against the following:

 

- Fusarium

- Powdery mildew

- Downy mildew

- Botrytis cinerea
