Cleaning cultivation gutters with care for the material

The period between two growing cycles is short, and there is a lot to do. Cleaning and disinfecting the greenhouse and the cultivation systems is an important part of the crop rotation. Proper cleaning helps ensure that the new crop starts with the lowest possible disease pressure. But what effect do cleaning and disinfecting agents actually have on the growing system itself?

Cleaning agents, concentrations, dwell times, water pressure, and rinsing all affect the materials from which cultivation gutters and other components are made. Research by Metazet into various coatings and protective layers shows that these materials do not all react the same way. Those who take this into account when cleaning can clean thoroughly and hygienically without unnecessarily shortening the lifespan of the cultivation systems.
