Dear Alexander

The introduction to your Grozyme product could not have been better, it saved our tomato crop and helped our farm reach our targeted net weight. We were able to produce and deliver the tomatoes to Vancouver restaurants with the highest quality demands.

The growing conditions for the summer of 2008, was one of the wettest and coldest on record for the Fraser Valley. Producing field grown heirloom tomatoes is challenging even at the best of eather conditions.

Hi,
 Last December I talked to you about how to use Hygrozyme in my aeroponics setup.  At the time I promised to tell you how I made out.

I am very delinquent in informing you that all has gone very well. I properly disposed of the Physan 20 and instead treated the growing medium (expanded-clay balls) with Hygrozyme and add Hygrozyme weekly to the water when I replace it in the aeroponics garden.  I have been producing tomatoes for almost a year now and all seems to be quite good.  No algae anywhere and no visible diseases and the tomatoes continue to set and mature.

 A belated but sincere thanks for your help last year.

Regards,

As any professional grower or gardener will tell you, Pythium root rot is a nasty pest that, if left untreated, can cause failure of an entire crop in very short order.  Formerly classified as a fungus, scientists have learned much more about the varying “strains” of Pythium and have changed its classification to a pathogen.   Regardless of the type of pathogen involved, the mechanism of action for the Pythium genus remains the same.  Oftentimes Pythium root rot is referred to as “damping off.”
