Using a disinfection system for more effective irrigation

Irrigation water quality is a key factor in the productivity and sustainability of any agricultural system. The presence of pathogens, biofilms and organic matter can negatively affect crop health, reducing yields and increasing dependence on crop protection products. In the face of these challenges, the HS Disinfection System with PHA is positioned as an innovative and highly efficient solution to guarantee contaminant-free irrigation water in open fields, greenhouses, tunnels and seedbed.

Using safe water for high yield agriculture
The use of Pure Hypochlorous Acid (PHA) as a disinfectant agent represents a breakthrough in the sanitary management of irrigation water. Its ability to eliminate bacteria, fungi, algae and biofilms in a plant-friendly manner makes it an ideal choice for improving water quality and crop efficiency.

PHA acts immediately and effectively against microorganisms such as Fusarium, Phytophthora, Alternaria, Xanthomonas and E. coli, among others, preventing the spread of crop diseases.

Although irrigation systems often suffer from clogging and contamination by biofilms, the oxidizing action of PHA eliminates these formations, ensuring uniform distribution of water and nutrients.

This contaminant-free irrigation water will lead to better absorption of essential nutrients, promoting strong and healthy root growth, which translates into more vigorous plants and more homogeneous harvests.

The HS Disinfection System with PHA is versatile and adapts to various irrigation configurations in open fields, greenhouses, tunnels and seedbeds, ensuring high quality water in any type of operation. It should be noted that its importance in seedbeds lies in the fact that micro-sprinkler irrigation with PHA generates an aseptic and innocuous environment for the plants inside the greenhouse, which contributes to sanitary control, avoiding the proliferation of verdigris on trays, tables, soil and other surfaces.

Effective and simple operation
This system generates Pure Hypochlorous Acid (PHA) in situ, ensuring a constant and controlled supply of disinfectant. Its operation is based on the following pillars:

The system operates fully automated and remotely, which reduces the need for manual intervention and minimizes dosing errors. In addition, it uses NaCl as a precursor, unlike other disinfection methods, since PHA is generated from common salt, avoiding the use of hazardous chemicals and polluting residues.

This system works efficiently in drip, sprinkler and hydroponic systems, ensuring homogeneous water disinfection.

Economic benefits and operational savings
The HS Disinfection System with PHA not only improves water sanitation, but also optimizes operating costs on large farms. It reduces the need for fungicides and bactericides, reducing input costs, eliminates biofilms, prevents clogging and prolongs the life of pipes and filters. In addition, by ensuring better water quality, healthier and more productive crops are obtained, maximizing farm profitability.

The HS Disinfection System with PHA represents a revolution in irrigation water management, combining advanced technology, agronomic efficiency and sustainability. Designed for large farms, it is a key solution for improving crop health and farmer profitability.
