Expansion to include post-harvest food safety applications, cannabis and hemp cultivation, and greenhouse and hydroponic agriculture.
The new registration allows TOMI's patented SteraMist ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP) technology to be applied directly to a wide range of indoor-grown plants, such as hemp, tobacco, ornamentals, and specialty and medicinal crops for the prevention, control and suppression of common plant pathogens such as powdery mildew, downy mildew, Botrytis, Fusarium and Pythium rot. Notably, the label permits application up to and including the day of harvest, a distinction cultivators have identified as a key operational advantage.
The registration also extends to post-harvest treatment of raw agricultural commodities (RACs), giving food safety and packing operations a tool to help reduce cross-contamination between harvest and shipment. Because of the low hydrogen peroxide, SteraMist's sole active ingredient, which breaks down naturally into oxygen and humidity, treated surfaces require no rinsing or wiping after application.
