Cocopeat/ Soil less Media
Growing hydroponically in a range of substrates (pine bark, coco peat, peat moss, rice husk or a combination of these ingredients) can be a good alternative to regular soil but cocopeats can harbour pathogens such as Pythium sp., etc., requiring their timely disinfection. A solution of Alstasan Silvox can be made and the cocopeat is allowed to soak for 4-6 hours till soggy wet. It is recommended to sterilize the cocopeat before and after every usage to prevent cross contamination.
ALSTASAN SILVOX (Silver Hydrogen Peroxide based Biodegradable Agriculture Disinfectant) addresses the following areas of concern without causing harmful/toxic effects.
