In your facility’s battle to prevent powdery mildew infections, cleaning and disinfection
solutions for cannabis-licensed producer facilities are essential weapons in your arsenal.
Powdery mildew infections in cannabis facilities are a bane of cannabis producers. It
slows photosynthesis, resulting in less robust and unhealthy plants. Even more critical,
powdery mildew is a hazard to the well-being of cannabis consumers and the reputation of
your facility.

The fungi release spores that can be transmitted through air, water and by your personnel.
The infection can also spread during the propagation stage, when the plants are most
vulnerable to infections.

THE CHALLENGE
Unfortunately, your facility presents the perfect environment for powdery mildew to
thrive. The humidity that supports your plants also stimulates the growth of the
fungi. It is vital that you prevent the progression of powdery mildew before it can
seize a foothold.

CONTROLLING THE INFECTION
When your staff wipes or mops without using a disinfectant, it can spread the spores
around and increase the chances of infection. Disinfection is even more vital in areas
where personnel may have encountered spores on their hands or clothing, or frequently
come in contact with surfaces.
