Substra Cleaner is the ideal solution to use when it comes to reusing substrates.
Simply rinse your substrates between crops with Substra Cleaner from Ferro.
When inert substrates such as rockwool, mapito and clay pebbles are reused, they can become contaminated due to the growth of plant pathogenic (harmful) bacteria, moulds (such as Pythium, better known as root rot), viruses, slime formation, sedimentation and salt crystallisation.
Substra Cleaner kills all plant pathogenic bacteria, moulds and viruses in substrates.
Substra Cleaner is made up of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and breaks down into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) within 24 hours. This is beneficial to young plants, encouraging them to shoot out roots.
HANDY TIP: After cleaning a substrate using Substra Cleaner, allow the substrate to rest for 24 hours. You'll then be ready to soak the substrate in a nutrient solution.
