Due to its low pH, high oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and active chlorine, hypochlorous acid electrolyzed water has a high-efficiency and broad-spectrum bactericidal capacity. As a result, it has steadily being used in recent years, particularly in the field of agricultural planting It has demonstrated exceptional effectiveness and promising futures in crop disease control.
1. Controlling and treating fungal infections in crops
The majority of frequent plant illnesses are fungal infections, followed by diseases brought on by bacterial pathogens and viruses. The perfect control effect for various disease causes can only be attained with the proper treatment strategy.
Numerous studies have shown that using acidic electrolyzed water for spray irrigation can effectively prevent bacterial blight, downy mildew, powdery mildew, rust, black spot, and other fungal diseases. Strikingly significant control effects are also produced by bacterial infections like damping-off disease and streak disease.
2. Lessen the use of pesticides and improve the effectiveness of the control
Some traditional pesticides can be diluted with acidic electrolyzed water during pesticide application, which can have a powerful synergistic impact and lower the amount of pesticides utilized.
When used in place of clean water to dilute the poisonous methylsulfide-B agent in the control of strawberry gray mold, acidic electrolyzed water not only achieves the best control effect of 88.25% but also reduces the amount of pesticides used by 33% to 50%, realizing environmentally friendly prevention and control. In terms of pest control, Chronophyllum thaliana responds well to the application of acidic electrolyzed water and 12% biphenyl-chichong suspending agent; the average control effect can reach 88.9% after 14 days of application.
Additionally, the use of acidic electrolyzed water for pest management can successfully lower the tolerance of different pest species to medications as well as significantly reduce the danger of chemical damage.
3. To encourage growth, soak the seeds.
Before planting, most crop seeds frequently need to be soaked, which not only affects the activity of the seeds but also speeds up germination. The seeds can be soaked in acidic electrolyzed water, which not only kills germs and parasite eggs outside the seed coat and lowers the risk of disease but also increases the permeability of the seed coat, increases the seed’s capacity to absorb water, and speeds up the growth of the ring bud. encourage plant survival and strengthen its resistance to disease.
Additionally, the hypochlorous acid solution created by the generator is purer, has a more pronounced bactericidal action, and is more stable. Additionally, soil fertilization can be done with the potassium hydroxide byproduct that the hypochlorous acid generator produces. It is frequently used as a fertilizer in agriculture to provide plants the potassium they require. One of the key minerals for plant growth, potassium is crucial for fostering the growth and development of plants.
