    Recommended by a University of Florida greenhouse manager

    By Dianne on 04/19/2019

    Was taking a course in Small Farms Academy at UF. Greenhouse manager recommended this product because of its ease of use for disinfecting seedling trays and transplant pots quickly. They just jet clean the trays, then spray with this and leave wet. Can plant right away and do not have to wait till dry. So much easier than using clorox, and effective.
