Soil Disinfection with Alstasan Silvox

Soil Disinfection can be used to control many soil-borne infections, pests, nematodes and unwanted weed. Soil fumigation is necessary as it is the single answer for all pathogen-related diseases and stubborn pest infestations like root-knot nematodes. Root rots influence the plant beyond the seedling stage when the parasites have invaded and affected the internal root tissue, meddling with the water supply and supplements, making it vital to treat them before hand.

A synergy of hydrogen peroxide and silver, in presence of a catalyst, serves as a multipurpose and significantly effective soil disinfectant. It is well effective in cases of soil fumigation where it is stable over a wide pH and temperature range, without any known phytotoxic effect.

Conventional soil disinfection includes the usage of steam, or toxic chemicals like formalin which needs time and other chemicals for its toxic effects to fade. They are mostly unstable, having a noted carcinogenic and phytotoxic effect. And in terms of yield, it requires flushing with water, and takes at least three weeks from fumigation to plantation.

Silver Hydrogen Peroxide can be applied in a variety of ways to effectively treat soil-borne infections.

1. Soil Fumigation
2. Soil treatment by Drip method 
3. Soil treatment by Drench method  
4. Foliar Spray  
5. Seed treatment

Soil Disinfectant

Advantages of silver hydrogen peroxide over conventional methods: 

1. Eco-friendly, being non-carcinogenic on humans and having zero phytotoxic effect 
2. Broad spectrum, being effective over a wide range of microorganisms, owing to its superb antiviral, antifungal, bactericide properties  
3. Multifunctional,  as hydrogen peroxide and silver finds usage in other media as well  
4. Nontoxic, with a high LD50 value on humans   
5. Cold sterilant, as silver hydrogen peroxide does not require any heat for disinfection  
6. Hydrogen peroxide and silver does not require any flushing of toxic residues with water  
7. The store and depot function of silver in hydrogen peroxide creates a longtime disinfection, with an added ‘low dosage’ benefit

 This silver stabilized hydrogen peroxide can be used for regular treatment of plants as both preventive and treatment method. Silver hydrogen peroxide has been effectively used in open field cultivation, protective cultivation, floriculture practices, Cocopeat sterilization, and many more.

Silver Hydrogen Peroxide in Soil Disinfection/ Agricultural purposes serves to be effective against fungal diseases like Root Rot, Powdery Mildew, Botrytis Blight, etc. Bacterial Diseases like Leaf Spotting, Wilting, Crown Gall, etc.
