Unlike other disinfection systems, Kingdom Ion™ controls pathogens by carrying free copper from the point of injection throughout the irrigation system to the plant roots.

Failure to control pathogens, increases the potential for operational risks and financial loss proportionately with the size of the growing operation.

Growers can use copper ionization to treat water from a stream, pond, or reclaimed water from a greenhouse to reduce or eliminate the use of fungicides while providing superior pathogen control.

Detecting, isolating, and controlling waterborne pathogens in post-harvest food safety and disinfection is growing ever more important.

Some of the country’s largest, most successful growers of plant and food crops are already using copper ionization systems.

Some of the largest plug producers in the world rely on copper ionization.

Kingdom Ion can provide pathogen control in organic markets.

Copper Ionization is the process of producing positively charged copper ions (Cu++) known as “free copper”.

Free copper (Cu++) is 800 times more powerful than bound copper. This allows for the control of pathogens with 1-3 PPM of free copper instead of 800-900 PPM of bound copper.

Copper ionization kills harmful (pathogenic) bacteria and fungi by penetrating the cell membrane and inoculating the organism.

Copper ionization does not destroy “good” bacteria, as most non-pathogenic bacteria have a gram-positive charge.

The delivery of exact amounts of copper ions, a natural biocide and plant micronutrient, reduces or eliminates biological issues and increases plant nutrient uptake and germination rates.

Copper Ionization reduces pressure from pests and disease, increases germination rates, and decreases the use of expensive chemicals.
