PRO-OXINE® Horticulture 5% Concentrate

PRO-OXINE® Horticulture is a concentrated horticulture antimicrobial used in water-treatment, sanitation and biofilm-control programs. When activated, the product generates chlorine dioxide.

HLVd third-party qPCR evaluation

A third-party evaluation prepared by Nathan T. Johnson, Ph.D. tested PRO-OXINE® Horticulture against Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) using qPCR. HLVd-containing cannabis material was exposed to 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 ppm solutions for 10 minutes. The report states that the 250 ppm condition produced a 5-log reduction in detectable HLVd RNA under the study conditions, comparable to the 20% bleach benchmark used in that test.

Important: qPCR reduction is not the same as a direct infectivity or commercial-field trial, and the study does not replace product-label directions or regulatory authorization. Use only according to the current label and applicable requirements in your jurisdiction.
