Why Use Hydroxycide 527?

Hydrite’s Hydroxycide 527 is an effective liquid biocide formulated to eliminate harmful nonpublic health microorganisms that negatively impact crops, agricultural equipment, and water distribution systems. Hydroxycide 527 works immediately on contact with any plant surface for control/suppression of plant pathogens and disease; and immediately targets destructive nonpublic health microorganisms such as fungus, algae, molds, and bacteria. When used as directed, Hydroxycide 527 breaks down into non-harmful, nontoxic byproducts. 

Preventative disease control through curative action — designed to eliminate what you can’t see.

Are Fungicide / Bactericide Solutions Important?

Fungicides and bactericides are important tools used in agriculture to protect crops from fungal and bacterial diseases. 

It's important to note that bactericides only target and control bacterial pathogens, while fungicides only target and control fungal pathogens. Therefore, it's crucial to identify the type of pathogen present in order to apply the appropriate solution.  

Bactericides can be applied as a preventative measure or as a treatment for an existing infection. When used correctly and in conjunction with other cultural practices, fungicides and bactericides can help to produce high-quality crops and protect their investments.
