• Biocat + applied via fertigation drip feed
• The tunnel was divided in 8 different zones
• ½ treated with Biocat + ½ as control
• Cultivation practices were kept as standard
• Normal pinching out was continued
Results
• Treated zones vs control zones- 16.7 % yield increase

• Fruit could be left at room temperature for 4-6 weeks
TUNNEL CUCUMBERS
.....................................................
Several cucumber farms that were severely impacted by fungal and bacterial diseases, which threatened the viability of the farms.
Over the past couple of years many chemical treatments to the plants and water have been tried to address the problems but to little avail. BioCat + ™ were introduced into the fertigation make up reservoirs.
The effect of the plants has been dramatic, fungal infections have drastically reduced, powdery mildew has declined to almost insignificance without spray treatment. In particular root development is much greater and more rapid as is the growth rate of the seedlings. Leaf area of the plants is much greater and plant uniformity much improved. The production level of the farms have soared with high quality cucumbers being produced. 3-4 more cucumbers per plant are being produced compared to history.
