The precautionary environmental disinfection of greenhouses , pee and irrigation systems for flora nurseries and conventional horticultural cultivation are carried out by the Italian company Ecofarm Storti in both Italy and Europe .

By applying the traditional management of environmental preventive hygiene in greenhouses , the costs of cleaning and disinfection can vary between 1,000 euros per hectare for non - in - profundity disinfection , up to 30,000 euros per hectare per yr in the case of pollution by quarantine pathogens , to which must be added the departure of production due to the downtime .

The use of ozone for these good practices drastically reduces all these cost , compare to swell effectiveness and rock-bottom intake of chemical compounds .

" We have develop this technology by apply the properties of gaseous ozone , which has slap-up biocidal mental ability and leaves zero residue . The development of these protocol allows us to supply effective resultant at low price . I think that continue productions from risks of infection and eradicating pathogens present in environments , admit those that have been present for age , at a price of less than 1,000 euros / ha , is now an indispensable reward , " said Giorgio Zaffani of Ecofarm .

The sanitization with ozone of H2O and irrigation organisation eliminates virus , kingdom Fungi , bacteria , and microfilm . Counteracting the pollution of crops and root systems is the first and most economical condition for agronomic success .

Ecofarm offers systems that do not involve the constant front of personnel department and that are easily integrated into survive systems like irrigation or environmental dispersion fan and/or destratifiers for preventive sanitation . The genesis of ozone use only the oxygen present in the ambient air and very little electricity , with an environmental impact close to zero .

“ The full cost to get an irrigation system to plow all irrigation water and , where present , drainage water as well , with an amortisation in five twelvemonth , including the electricity consumption and the upkeep , is € 0,30 cents per straight meter per year . While , under the same conditions , for preventative environmental disinfection , the cost is around € 0,10 penny per square metre per class . The installation costs , already largely compensated by the non - use of additional disinfection mathematical product and the reduction of pesticide , can also benefit from public funds such as , for example , Italian PSR and Agriculture 4.0 . "

Ecofarm will attend to Macfrut at base B5 151 .
