The application of electrolyzed water in different sections of the workplace has already been proven. Electrolyzed water seems to have the potential to become one of the useful disinfectants in the food, aquaculture, agriculture, medical and energy industries.
There are many companies around the world producing pure electrolyzed water solutions with different chlorine concentrations for different applications. For example, a company in the United States is producing electrolyzed water with two different hypochlorite concentrations and has tested them in food plants and medical applications. In addition, the company is treating plant diseases by spraying these solutions on trees.
The following are the application methods and benefits of hypochlorous acid in apple tree disinfection:
Application method:
Preparatory solution: Dissolve an appropriate amount of hypochlorous acid in water to make a solution of appropriate concentration. Make sure to prepare the solution in the correct proportions to avoid damage to the apple tree.
Spraying: Use a sprayer or spraying equipment to evenly spray the hypochlorous acid solution on the leaves, branches and fruits of the apple tree. Make sure to cover the entire plant surface for effective disinfection.
Advantage:
Kill pathogens: hypochlorous acid has strong bactericidal ability, which can effectively kill pathogens on apple trees, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. This helps prevent and control the spread of disease and protect the health of the apple tree.
Disease Prevention: The incidence of disease can be reduced by regularly disinfecting apple trees with hypochlorous acid. This helps reduce disease damage to apple trees and improves fruit yield and quality.
Cleaning the fruit: Hypochlorous acid disinfection removes dirt, dust and other contaminants from the apple tree, keeping the fruit clean and hygienic. This helps to improve the appearance and market value of the fruit.
Improve fruit storage period: By disinfecting apple trees, the presence of pathogens and spoilage bacteria on the fruit can be reduced, and the storage period of the fruit can be extended. This helps reduce wastage of the fruit and extends its shelf life.
Using electrolyzed water to treat plant diseases or to sterilize and treat pathogenic microorganisms in aquaculture can provide pesticide- and drug-free fresh produce for human consumption. It is clear that electrolyzed water is one of the promising sanitizers of the future that can provide pesticide and drug free food.
