Preserving food crop health is of global importance and a universal challenge. Major field crops are persistently under threat from issues such as poor soil quality, pests, disease, and inadequate nutrient uptake. These ongoing concerns endanger food security through lower crop yields and are critical for farmers, directly impacting the efficiency and profitability of their farming operations.
From seed to harvest, managing the health of mainstay agricultural crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat (winter wheat), canola, barley and many others are of utmost importance. At H2O2 Water, we can help. Our line of NSF and EPA approved Hydroxyl products are biodegradable, non-toxic, support beneficial microbiome, and are highly effective in neutralizing harmful fungi and other pathogenic entities that can harm your crops. Hydroxyl decomposes into simple water and oxygen leaving no lasting chemical footprint and no harmful byproducts or coproducts behind making it ideal for environmentally sensitive applications such as food production.
When applied to soil and crops, Hydroxyl offers several key benefits:
Less Pathogens and Healthier Soil – Hydroxyl targets anaerobic pathogens, biofilms, and Gram-negative organisms while allowing beneficial aerobic and facultative microbes to repopulate. Over time this can help restore and revitalize your soil meaning improved water retention, increased microbial activity, and enhanced nutrient availability for your crops.
Reduces Reliance on Traditional Fumigants – Hydroxyl selectively oxidizes pathogens, biofilms, and nematodes while preserving beneficial microbes like Bacillus and Mycorrhizae. This prevents or slows the recolonization of opportunistic pathogens thereby reducing the frequency requirement for fumigation.
Supports Growth – Unlike traditional treatments that have longer plant back periods and can harm germination Hydroxyl works synergistically with inoculants like N2 and decomposes into water and oxygen making it safe to apply pre-plant or in-season via irrigation or spray.
Enhances Nutrient Uptake – Hydroxyl increases soil ORP and oxygenates roots. This improves the crop’s root system and thereby its ability to absorb nutrients.
Reduces instance of Disease – Hydroxyl effectively treats waterborne pathogens such as Pythium and Phytophthora), as well as rootzone toxicity, and bound nutrients (P, Mn, Fe). Your soil is safer and less likely to cause disease.
Biodegradable and non-toxic – Hydroxyl decomposes into simple water and oxygen. There are no lasting effects on water or soil quality and no harmful byproducts or coproducts left behind. This makes it ideal for food production applications.
Increases yields – Field tests have shown crops treated with Hydroxyl generate bigger yields. Corn bushels increase 4-7% per acre, corn sileage increases by 2-3 tonnes per acre. Wheat bushels increase 7-10% per acre with a similar percentage increase per acre in straw harvest. Soybeans bushels increase 8-12% per acre with specialty beans demonstrating a 7-8% tonne per acre increase.
Versatile – Hydroxyl is multifunctional and can be used for many applications including chemigation to prevent against disease for healthy crops, as a water treatment for wells, as a sanitizer for tools and equipment, as a curative for diseased or sick crops such as those afflicted by mildew, smut and rust.
Improves Farm Operations – Using Hydroxyl can improve germination, improve soil health, lower the requirement for traditional fumigants, and improve yield which in turn can improve the profitability of your operations.
At H2O2 Water, we understand the relationship between a healthy crop yield and a successful farming operation. If you have any questions or want to learn more about our line of Hydroxyl products, our team is ready to help you.
