Hygrozyme is a highly refined enzymatic cleaner/facilitator for dead matter. Keeping in mind that it is sterile and inert, Hygrozyme cannot kill anything.

Its key role therefore is to act as a prophylactic, a sort of protector of your plant's foliage and root systems as it works, naturally, to create an environment that is not conducive to the deadly pathogens that threaten a variety of crops.

Many leaf borne diseases like Black Spot or Powdery Mildew flourish in the presence of dead matter. Contamination often occurs when gardening tools aren't properly sterilized, humans inadvertantly spread the macro organisms or insects enter the growth medium and bring the pathogens along with them. If they arrive and conditions are hospitable - for example dead matter has accumulated - these diseases can quickly take hold and kill plants quickly and efficiently.

The regular use of Hygrozyme is a natural and organic way to encourage the break-down and removal of dead matter. Additionally, plants are more easily able to absorb the important nutrients that foster faster growth with stronger root systems, improved foliage and bigger yields. At the same time Hygrozyme fosters the presence of beneficial micro organisms on leaf surfaces and in the grow medium or hydroponic solution. This is especially successful when used in combination with compost extracts that contain micro protagonists.

For best results Hygrozyme should be used right from the start; begin with a sterile, perfectly clean system and count on Hygrozyme to maintain a healthy grow environment even in unseasonably cool or moist conditions. Applications at a rate of 1.5 ml per 1 litre are typically sufficient but we encourage you to either contact Sipco or check out our other advice under the Directions category.
