StorOx can be used in the following applications:
Potato Applications:
StorOx may be used in a three-step program for tubers and storage facilities to manage storage diseases such as Early and Late Blight, Pythium, Soft Rot, and Silver Scurf disease.
-
Step 1: Bin Piler Application
The bin piler application is the best opportunity to provide an initial reduction of disease pressure before potatoes enter storage. Piler applicators and spray bar nozzle configurations are available through our dealers to enable StorOx applications.
-
Step 2: In-Storage Humidification Applications
StorOx can be injected through spinner humidifiers or humidicells (cell decks). We can also set up an air-assisted fogging system to create a finer fog. StorOx should be injected anytime the storage humidification system is run.
-
Step 3: Hot Spot Treatments
For dealing with hot spots, individual air atomized fog nozzles can be set up at individual plenum pipes to deliver a concentrated StorOx fog.
Post Harvest Applications:
-
Treatment of Surfaces
Use StorOx to treat all surfaces, tools, crates, and storage rooms. StorOx can be applied by sprayer, fogging device, or any other means of application.
-
Line Spray
Use StorOx as a line spray to treat produce surfaces prior to packaging. When diluted, StorOx has a pleasant odor and is easy to work with and be around. No final rinse is required.
-
Storage Piler
Use StorOx on produce going into storage to provide an immediate knockdown of spoilage organisms. This application is common for potatoes, carrots, onions, or any crop requiring medium- to long-term storage.
-
Fogging and Humidification
Use a fogger or humidifier to disperse StorOx into food or crop storage facilities. This application is common for potatoes, carrots, onions, or any crop requiring medium- to long-term storage.
-
Water Treatment
Use StorOx in dump tanks, hydro coolers, flumes, or other water treatment systems as an alternative to chlorine. Test kits are available for monitoring the level of StorOx remaining in the water.
