Hygrozyme has been proven in maintaining the visual appearance and ongoing health of a wide variety of cut flowers: roses, mums, lilies, orchids, etc., as well as a large variety of harvested produce. By using Hygrozyme during the growing cycle, produce (e.g. fruit, vegetables, herbs, etc) will stay fresh longer and appear visually attractive and healthy. This will significantly reduce the amount of spoilage. 

CSRI tests for cut flowers showed that by adding Hygrozyme to a daily change of water, they are able to last in excess of 14 days (with proper cutting and removal of dead leaves). Another unique quality of Hygrozyme is, that it is the only known product in the market that can be used in conjunction with Hydrogen Peroxide in a ppm of 1-2% solution. By adding a 1-2% hydrogen peroxide solution, the results were even more pronounced.

 

 
Prophylactic for Desease Prevention - Mold and Mildew PDF Print E-mail

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. Many leaf borne diseases like Black Spot, of Powdery Mildew flourish in the presence of dead matter. Transferred by humans, macro organisms or air borne arrival, these diseases can set in quickly when in the presence of dead matter. The regular use of Hygrozyme can be a deterrent by removing dead matter and at the same time fostering the presence of beneficial micro organisms on leaf surfaces and in the grow medium or hydroponic solution. This is especially the case in combination with compost extracts that contain micro protagonists. For best results it should be used right from the start of a clean system to maintain those conditions. Applications at a rate of 1.5 ml per 1 litre are sufficient.

In tests reviewed by the Canada Science & Research Institute (CSRI) Hygrozyme has been proven “excellent” in maintaining longer use of slabs and hydroponic solutions. 

An increase of up to 30% in longevity has been experienced. In soil, Hygrozyme has proven to increase soil porosity through accelerated breakdown of dead organic matter. Its chief function is to vigorously rid the medium of dead organic matter, thereby preventing disease from setting into the medium.

As a media rejuvenator, it is used after a harvest as a soak solution and should be applied after a 50% hydration is implemented. At a concentration of up to 2.5 – 3.75 ml per 1 litre a rapid and almost complete reduction in dead bio mass can be observed. Available nutrients are unlocked in the process and, depending on the circumstances, may provide an excellent source of available plant energy for future growth

Hygrozyme is an excellent solution to be used in the cutting and cloning process. It can be used either alone, at 1.5 ml per 1 liter or in conjunction with a preferred cloning compound. Tests have shown that in its presence an expedited growth occurs up to 30% faster than with conventional methods. If used from seed it is most effective in use right after seed germination. Again, CSRI tests showed a robust development and the usual result was up to 30% faster development than conventional methods. Hygrozyme is compatible with all standard cloning and cutting formulas and may be used in conjunction with other solutions or alone.

  • Significant increase in harvest
  • Faster plant growth will be beneficial in many aspects: less fuel cost, less cost of electricity, less labour cost, reduced capital cost, reduced risk factor, less maintenance cost of equipment and machinery
  • Extended longevity an use of medium and water
  • Savings in fertilizer and related products cost due to more efficient absorption
