Disinfectants and cleaning in horticulture

Hygiene is an important point of attention for professional greenhouse horticulture. Food safety and certification have played an increasingly important role for livestock horticulture companies in recent years. Cleaning agents and disinfectants keep diseases, bacteria and pests out, thus preventing crop damage. A disinfection scan offers a solution for mapping the overall company hygiene. At a horticultural company you can think for example of cleaning various surfaces, materials, hands and footwear, but also the well cleaned, clean glass is of great importance. Moreover, visitors should disinfect their hands and washing their hands upon entering the building. Want to know what else to take into account, like cleaning products and how to clean machines?
