Safety, from land cultivation to the product growing

AGRICULTURE AND PATHOGENIC ORGANISMS

Fruit and vegetable products can contain pathogenic microorganisms which, above a certain threshold, become dangerous for human and animal health.

For this reason, all phases of the production and distribution process must comply with precise hygiene and safety parameters (Directives 43/93/CE and 2073/2005/CE, Hygiene package).

ALL ADVANTAGES OF WATER TREATMENT FOR IRRIGATION USE

Treatment of irrigation water is the only approach capable to eliminate impurities, reducing the consistency of the microbial load in food without damaging them or affecting their organoleptic and nutritional qualities.

It has antimicrobial efficacy, lasting over time, even after harvesting.
Prevents the formation of biofilm, where pathogens proliferate.
In case of water contamination, avoid spreading to products and machinery.

Innovation, biosafety and internal laboratory

The products of the AGRI Line
- They guarantee the containment of pathogens throughout the process, from field irrigation to washing and processing of fruit and vegetables, up to the cleaning of all the machinery.
- They preserve the health of soil, plants and animals. But also of people, who eats the products and who comes into contact with food and irrigation and processing machinery.
11 reasons to choose them
1. Totally environment polluting substances free.
2. Absence of harmful or potentially dangerous substances for food cycle (heavy metals, toxic organic substances, solvents, etc.).
3. Active ingredients and excipients are scrupulously checked to verify their purity.
4. Eliminate and prevent the risk of particularly dangerous diseases for humans such as legionellosis.
5. Formulated to be particularly suitable for organic crops because they contain compounds already present in nature, such as fruit acids.
6. Particularly suitable for cultivation in greenhouses, where the risk of biofilm formation on products is higher.
7. Do not leave toxic residues on the ground, fruit and vegetables.
8. Prevent irrigation system’s block.
9. Preserve the water chemical-physical characteristics necessary for the cultivation type.
10. Fight the most common bacterial agents, toxic to humans and animals, such as legionella.
11. Protect the agricultural operator also.
Our commitment to research continues

Barchemicals Research and Development department collaborates with universities, private and public research institutes. Supports the search for new bio-sustainable, less polluting and more effective materials, such as low-dose biocides that do not cause resistance phenomena.
Highly qualified services range
1. Analysis of the chemical, physical and bacteriological characteristics of the water used in irrigation.
2. Analytical advice on water.
3. Product supply and consulting.
4. Operating protocol release for using and maintaining of products.
