Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the same compound your immune system produces naturally to fight infection. Unlike chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite), our proprietary HOCl formulation works at a near-neutral pH that's gentle on plants while remaining deadly to pathogens. It's 100x more effective than bleach at eliminating harmful microorganisms.

Absolutely. Plant Guard is OMRI Listed for use in organic production and leaves no harmful residues. It breaks down naturally into simple salt and water, making it ideal for sustainable farming practices.

While conventional chemicals typically target specific pathogens, Plant Guard provides broad-spectrum protection against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It's also effective against resistant strains that no longer respond to traditional treatments. Most importantly, Plant Guard eliminates the concerns about residues, worker safety, and environmental impact associated with conventional chemicals.

No. Unlike many sanitizers, Plant Guard is non-corrosive at recommended concentrations and won't damage metal components, plastic tubing, or emitters. In fact, it helps extend the life of irrigation systems by preventing biofilm buildup and clogging.

Most growers report noticeable improvement in disease pressure within 2-3 weeks of implementing Plant Guard. Economic benefits typically become clear within one growing season, with ROI timelines varying based on operation size (3-12 months).

Plant Guard works effectively as either a replacement for conventional treatments or as a complementary rotation partner. Our technical team will help you integrate Plant Guard into your existing program for maximum effectiveness and cost savings.
