Water-Borne Disease Control using UV-Ozone and Hydrogen Peroxide in Irrigation Systems
ID: 728470
United Kingdom
Since 2009, he has been involved with controlling the Fusarium fungus that is plaguing the forestry industry by using the technology as described above. A feature of this process is that NO CHEMICALS are used whatsoever and plant growth is phenomenal. A very sought after symbiotic root fungus called Mycorrhiza, which the forestry industry cannot get to grow when chlorine is used as a water sterilant, grows prolifically when the Hydro-Peroxzone process is used. The control mechanism for this process is measured scientifically with the use of an ORP meter which indicates the quality of applied water.
His field of consultancy reaches across to all aspects of water use through irrigation from open field farmers to golf courses. In our modern day search for alternative techniques to grow our food this proven Hydro-Peroxzone method will out-compete any chemical use. It is very Eco-friendly and has been approved by many regulatory bodies such as FDA, USDA, EU, GAP, Organic, etc. Legislation is currently being implemented in the EU and the USA where farmers will not be allowed to grow food in poor quality water, and they cannot rely on chlorine or any other chemicals to do what UV-Ozone and Hydrogen Peroxide can do naturally.
His technology is unpatentable, and is readily available to anyone who wishes to use it in place of chemicals in our food production.

| Years | Country / Region | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Years: 2006 to 2006 | Country / Region: Portugal | Summary: He consulted to a strawberry grower who supplies the Paris and Madrid fresh produce market and who needed to control several fungi, such as botritis, rhizoctonia, pythium and phytofthora. Also consulted to a potato grower in the same area who had a nematode problem in the soils. |
| Years: 2003 to 2003 | Country / Region: Mocambique | Summary: He installed an Ozone generator to the borehole water supply system which controlled the fungal diseases and the 'rotton egg' odour which came off the anaerobic water. |
