Drip irrigation systems have a clogging problem. Hydroponic irrigation systems have additionally a water quality issue.
They need periodic or permanent applications of chlorine, acids, ozone, sequestrants or other hazardous, corrosive and expensive substances.
Now with Non-Active Biocatalysts as OrTec you can keep those systems clean and free of deposits.
Their main characteristics of the non-active biocatalysts include:
- Vegetable base – Liquid concentrate.
- Non-active nature – It does not contain microorganisms.
- Stability – It has a long shelf life.
- Organic and biodegradable composition – 100% “ecofriendly”.
- Non-toxic and non-hazardous nature – Safe for humans, animals and plants.
- No special handling requirements
- No fumes or irritating vapors are released.
- Non-flammable and noncorrosive to metals, concrete or plastics.
Their benefits and results include:
– In the systems:
- Softening and release of existing attached deposit in the drip lines, tubes and sprinklers
- No new deposits will form in the system
- Cleaner filters
- pH adjustment and control
- Reduction in conductivity
- Reduction in the insect population
– In the soil:
- Better absorption of water allowing an important reduction in its use
- Better absorption of fertilizer allowing a reduction in its use
– In the plants:
- Cleans the soil of the chemical fertilizer’s crust allowing a faster absorption of the newly applied fertilizers
- Less plant mortality
- Overall healthier plants
- Plants will grow faster
- Compatible and can be applied simultaneously with all kinds of fertilizers.
