Microbial Control in Greenhouses by Spraying Slightly Acidic Electrolyzed Water

Slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) has strong bactericidal activity and is relatively safe compared to other disinfectants. In vitro exposure of Escherichia coli Bacillus subtilis SAEW at a chlorine concentration more than 25 mg/L for 3 min completely killed bacterial cells. When was sprayed in greenhouse around 30 mg/L, the viability airborne microorganisms significantly reduced. On hand, spray did not affect growth eggplant cucumber plants greenhouse. influence soil or plant leaf surface. could be used as substitute tap increase relative humidity during daytime, which expected photosynthesis. spraying reduces improves environmental conditions
