WHY AND HOW TO USE DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG
Nearly all fertilised and irrigation waters are infected with pathogenic microorganisms. Even chlorinated water is often contaminated, particularly at the outlet points. In addition to the conventional pathogenic germs such as Enterococcus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, Streptococci, the following can be found in water: Pythium, Fusariums, Phytophthoras. It should be pointed out that drip-feeders or watering pipes often become lined with algae, which retain organic matter present in the water. This organic layer becomes a permanent source of contamination and recontamination. Furthermore, nutrient solutions are often contaminated with: Pythium spp., Fusarium spp., Phytophthora spp., Corynebacterium spp., Xanthomonas spp. The liquid phase is therefore responsible for many diseases,which often remain undetected and almost always lead to considerable financial losses. Finally, some plant diseases are transmitted by contact with infected soil: Verticillium, Pyrenochaeta, Fusarium oxysporum f., Phomopsis schlerotioides. These diseases could also be carried by dust from infected soil e.g. Fusarium oxysporum, which is subsequently deposited on walls, equipment and plants. Therefore disinfection is essential to clean hydroponic systems.
DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG is a product with a wide anti-microbial spectrum, remaining active in the presence of organic matter. It is also very important to treat the liquid phase with a suitable product that is non-toxic to plants at the recommended doses, in order to prevent algae deposits, which are problematic and a frequent source of contamination and recontamination. The product used should produce a controlled decrease in microbial development, thus maintaining an optimal balance of micro-organisms, without eliminating them completely, as this could lead to pathogenic micro-organisms becoming more prevalent and causing serious damage to the plant.
DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG can be used to solve contamination problems in greenhouses (soil free or not), and in open fields. Due to its particularly broad bactericidal, anti-fungal and anti-viral spectrum, its strong algaecide properties, its optimal anti-microbial activity, its non-toxicity at 10 or 20 ppm and its biodegradability.
DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG is the ideal choice for dealing with contamination problems.

APPLICATIONS
Greenhouses:
- At least once a year treat greenhouse structures, shelters, storage premises, vehicles, tanks, trays, grafting tools, pruning knives, by spraying or by soaking for 5 minutes with DES-O- GERM™ SP VEG, diluted from 1/100.
- For treatment of watering water, use DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG continuously or every other week (low risk) from 5 to 20 ppm (5 to 20 ml / m3 of water) by introducing it through a dosing pump, which is adjusted according to the irrigation water output.
Hydroponics:
- At least once a year treat the structures, vehicles, tanks, trays, grafting tools, pruning knives, by spraying or by soaking for 5 minutes with DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG diluted 1/100.
- Treat the water continuously or one day a week (low risk) with 5 to 20 ppm (5 to 20 ml / m3 of water) DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG introducing it through a dosing pump, which is adjusted according to the irrigation water output.
Open field growing:
- Once a year treat equipment, miscellaneous tools, ploughing equipment, grubbers, planters, harrows, planting out equipment, vehicles, trays…etc. by spraying or by soaking for 5 minutes with DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG, diluted from 1/100.
- Two to four times a month treat the drip irrigation water with DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG from 5 to 20 ppm (5 to 20 ml / m3 of water) introducing it through a dosing pump, which is adjusted according to the irrigation water output.
- Treat the foliage by spraying from 50 to 1 000 ppm once a week to once every 2nd week, use ± 1 000 litres of water per hectare for best results.
Orchards:
- At least once a year treat equipment, tools, cutters and trays by spraying or by soaking for 5 minutes with DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG diluted from 1/100.
- Treat the irrigation water 4 times per year with a 1-week interval.Apply 20 ml of DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG per tree per year. (e.g. for 400 trees per hectare, apply 400 x 5 ml, which equals 2 litres of DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG in the last hour of the drip/micro-irrigation, repeat 4 times = 8 litres per hectare of 400 trees.)
- Treat the foliage by spraying 1 000 ppm once every 2nd week. Use > 2 000 litres of water per hectare for best results. In all the above app lications check the fertigation water for compatibility with DES-O-GERM™ SP VEG (see test method ).
ADVANTAGES
- Very broad bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal spectrum.
- Stable in solution in water, therefore effective throughout the water system.
- Algaecide, therefore prevents pipes from becoming lined with algae, thus preventing the formation of infection from a secondary source
- Wetting and surface active agent, therefore penetrates into crevices in walls
