Application of hypochlorous acid in agriculture

Aug27,24

Hypochlorous acid is widely used in agriculture, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Clean anolyte can be used for seed soaking treatment to ensure seed activity and shorten germination time. For example, soaking the seeds with acidic electrolytic water can not only kill pathogens outside the seed coat, but also improve the germination rate of the seeds. In addition, studies have shown that using 5% sodium hypochlorite solution to soak Arabidopsis seeds can effectively kill surface pathogens.

HOCL water is used in soil improvement, which can significantly improve soil environment and promote plant growth. For example, in some rice, tomato and strawberry growing enterprises in Japan, the CELA process (i.e. electrolytic water technology) is used for soil disinfection and irrigation. The application effect of hypochlorous acid water in soil improvement is remarkable, mainly through its strong oxidation ability to remove harmful substances in the soil, so as to improve soil quality and increase the yield and quality of crops.

Hypochlorous acid, as a safe and effective disinfectant, can be soaked or sprayed to kill bacteria and fungi on the surface of agricultural products, thereby extending their shelf life. For example, slightly acidic hypochlorite water, as a preservative for soaking, can effectively control pathogenic microorganisms on the surface or inside of fruits and vegetables, and regulate the respiratory metabolism of fruits and vegetables after harvest. The study also showed that using the same concentration of hypochlorite water and sodium hypochlorite disinfecting water to treat lettuce and peaches can significantly reduce the number of surface microorganisms.

 

HOCL has broad-spectrum bactericidal ability and can be used for disease control during crop growth. For example, electrolytic hypochlorite water has shown excellent efficacy and prospects in crop disease control. In addition, bleach products containing hypochlorite are commonly used as disinfectants to eliminate non-fungal plant pathogens from production surfaces, tools, plant surfaces, irrigation water, and production dump tanks.

 

Hypochlorous acid is also used in shed deodorization, gardening and other fields. For example, hypochlorous acid generators play an important role in poultry farming, livestock farming, shed deodorization and so on. In addition, slightly acidic electrolytic water (hypochlorous acid water) has the characteristics of high efficiency, broad spectrum, safety, pollution-free, no harm to animal and human health, and has a wide range of application prospects in agriculture, food, medical and health industries.

 

In summary, the application of hypochlorous acid in agriculture covers many aspects from seed treatment, soil improvement, fruit and vegetable preservation to crop disease prevention and control, showing its great potential and wide application prospects as environmental protection disinfectants.

 

We Bluewav company has low consumption of raw materials and electricity, more advantages in technical principle, and the hypochlorous acid solution produced is more pure and no residue. Our different HOCL water standards also differ in salt selection, supporting a long-term supply of raw materials.

It has broad-spectrum bactericidal performance, can kill or control pathogenic microorganisms on the surface or inside of fruits and vegetables, and can regulate the respiratory metabolism of fruits and vegetables after harvest.

 

Compared with traditional disinfectants, slightly acidic hypochlorous acid water has the advantages of wide application range, high safety, broad spectrum sterilization performance, etc., which increases the use compliance.
