:: Chlorine Dioxide - Tecsa Clor And Tecsa Frutas ::

1. Foliar Spray (traditional extensive farming and in hydroponics).
2. Soil fumigation of soil or hydroponics media.
3. Hydroponics only
• treatment of fertigated water
• treatment of wet walls
• sanitation
4. Miscellaneous application
• spider mite control
• dip treatment for table grapes

1. an oxidant chemical species which reacts at the molecular level of the bacteria or fungi.
2. A 7 day localised systemic action.
3. An efficient contact preventative killer of bacteria and fungi.
4. The ability reduce resistance of current systemic of contact fungicides and bactericides. (TECSA CLOR is to be use in conjunction with fungicides and bactericides which have different modes of action. It is not to be used in place of these products, by itself.
5. No residue on the crops.
6. No toxicity to humans and no phytotoxicity to plants.
7. No withholding period after spraying (Chlorine Dioxide is an approved chemical for the production of drinking water throughout the world).

• table grapes
• wine grapes
• citrus
• vegetables (tomatoes, onions, etc)

1. To use TECSA CLOR and TECSA FRUTAS in crop / foliar spray it is necessary to Use TECSA CLOR at the recommended Dosage and to use TECSA FRUTAS at 20% of that Dosage eg 2 litres of TECSA CLOR per 1000 litres of watern will require a Dosage of 400 ml of TECSA FRUTAS.
2. For the " washing " of trees (insects, acaricide and fumigation control) to use 200cc TECSA FRUTAS and 100cc TECSA CLOR in 100 L of water, with good pressure (50 bars), to totally wet the tree or plant.
3. TECSA CLOR can mix with all the fungicides and insecticides. In the case of applying in combined form, it is recommended first to mix TECSA CLOR-TECSA FRUTAS and then to add the other product.
4. Cautions: not to carry out applications with more temperatures to 18° C and in waters with smaller pH at 5.0.
5. Store the products in cool very well ventilated storerooms out of direct sunlight and in the original container.
6. TECSA CLOR does not have an activation or make up requirement.

1. Treatment of fertigated water (fertiliser, nutrient and biological control agent (BCA) mixes) to prevent the spread of root diseases such as pythium, fusarium, phytophthora, alternaria and rhizoctonia micro-organisms. This is particularly necessary where nutrient gravel film systems are used where the fertigated water is continually re-cycled or where regulations require the fertigated water to be re-cycled. Dosage : 40 ml to 100 ml of TECSA CLOR per 1000 litres of water. (2 litres to 5 litres per 50 000 litres of water).
   

2. Foliar spray to overcome various bacterial or fungal leaf diseases. Here the TECSA CLOR is used in conjunction with the TECSA FRUTAS to assist in wetting of leaves.
   Dosage : As shown in the table above. Typically the Dosage is 1 litre TECSA CLOR per 1000 litres of water for heavy spray cover of the plant. The TECSA FRUTAS is used at 100 ml per 1000 litres of water. (The two products are added into the water separately).
   
   TECSA CLOR can be used in conjunction with any other fungicide / bactericide. Our Principle's have experience where the TECSA CLOR is mixed with herbicides, insecticides etc with NO phytotoxic OR incompatible reactions. We still, however, recommend that any cocktails are tried out on small areas to prove to the user that no problems may arise.
   
3. Sanitation:: This covers the provision for foot baths, spraying of equipment used in the hydroponic area (pruning equipment, spraying equipment etc) fogging of the environment within the hydroponic area, sanitising plant trays and people's hands.
   Dosage : 1 litre TECSA CLOR per 100 litres of water.
   
   (Fogging in a Hurricane Fogger at the rate of 1 litre TECSA CLOR into 4 litres of water where 2 - 4 ml TECSA CLOR is required per square metre of area.
   
   
4. Wetwalls:: In fully environmentally controlled hydroponic facilities it is commonplace to use wet walls for humidity and cooling control. Wet walls are generally made from specifically prepared cardboard, thus providing an ideal substrate for algal contamination. (It is possible to have various fungal or bacterial contaminants to be "pulled through" the wet walls). Algae can block the pores of the wet walls thereby reducing the ability of the wet walls to control humidity and temperature.
   Dosage : A shock dose of 1 to 2 litres TECSA CLOR per wet wall re-circulating water system which will keep the wet wall free of algae for approximately 2 weeks after the second dose.
   
   Depending upon the severity of the algal infestation, the first shock treatment may last for only a few days before it needs to be repeated.
   
   The frequency of dosing can be decided upon because the TECSA CLOR can easily be measured in water. When the residual drops below 5 ppm it will be necessary to repeat the shock dose.

• For Harvest Wash, Oxine, Potato Wash And PurogenE.
1. Oxystix - semi quantitative measurement of residual using a dipstick. It can measure 0.5, 2, 5,10, 25, 50 and 50 ppm residuals. A colour chart is on every box of OXYSTIX.
2. Test Kit - Quantitative process procedure which can measure the residual. This procedure can measure 0-10 ppm at 1 ppm intervals and 0 - 50 ppm at 5 ppm intervals.
3. Laboratory Titration - Accuracy of 0.025 ppm.
• For Tecsa Clor.
1. A specific test kit that can measure 0-100ppm at 1 ppm intervals.
