HortiHygienz
The answer to increasing disease pressure in vegetable cultivation

HortiHygienz

Growers are regularly alarmed by new infestations, diseases and pests. Prevention of bacteria, fungi and viruses is better than cure. Viruses such as CGMMV (Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus) and ToBRFV (tomato virus) can cause a lot of yield loss and even make it necessary to terminate the crop prematurely. HortiHygienz has an answer based on five pillars: Crop rotation, People, Materials, Water quality and Responsibility & Sustainability.

When the plants are out of the greenhouse at the end of the crop, it's an ideal time to thoroughly clean and disinfect all the stands and cultivation materials. This tackles bacteria, fungi and viruses and enables a clean start of the new cultivation.
