Cannabis
Cannabis cultivators face many challenges, and one of the most pressing is the prevention of mould and bacterial cross-contamination. These issues can severely affect plant growth, yield, and overall profitability. AEGIS Microbe Shield® is a proven, durable antimicrobial solution designed to safeguard your crops from the harmful effects of microbes such as mould, bacteria, and fungi. It helps ensure that your plants grow in a healthier environment, leading to better yields and reduced production costs.
How AEGIS® Works for Cannabis Cultivation
AEGIS® is not a traditional disinfectant but a long-lasting antimicrobial surface protectant. It uses nanotechnology to bond to surfaces, creating an inhospitable environment for germs. The product works by forming a bed of microscopic spikes on treated surfaces, which puncture the cell walls of germs, preventing their growth and spread. Once applied, AEGIS® remains bonded to surfaces, offering continuous protection against microbes for the long term.
Key Benefits for Cannabis Growers:
Prevents Mould and Bacterial Outbreaks: AEGIS® creates a barrier that actively prevents the growth of mould, bacteria, algae, yeast, and fungi on various surfaces, including greenhouse glass, walls, and ventilation systems. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination and ensures your cannabis plants grow in a safe, clean environment.
Invisible and Non-toxic: The application of AEGIS® is invisible and does not create any harmful residues. It does not leach into the environment, making it safe for both the plants and the workers applying it.
Easy to Apply: AEGIS® can be easily applied via spray or misting, ensuring that all surfaces that could potentially harbour contaminants are treated. This includes hard-to-reach areas in greenhouses, around equipment, and on surfaces prone to moisture accumulation.
No Impact on Light Transmission: AEGIS® has been shown not to negatively affect light transmission through greenhouse glazing materials. This ensures that your crops receive the optimal amount of light for photosynthesis without compromising the effectiveness of the antimicrobial treatment.
No Off-gassing: AEGIS® poses no off-gassing risk during or after application, ensuring that there are no harmful airborne chemicals in the grow environment.
Non-flammable: Once applied, AEGIS® does not pose any flammability risks, ensuring a safer working environment.
