BioSafe ZeroTol 2.0, 55 gal

BioSafe ZeroTol 2.0 Broad-Spectrum Bactericide and Fungicide, 55 gal

Algae, bacteria, and fungi present in growing facilities can colonize surfaces, irrigation systems, and growing media, competing with plants for nutrients, blocking irrigation emitters, and creating conditions that favor plant disease. Many conventional fungicides and bactericides require extended contact time, work only against specific pathogen classes, or leave residues that restrict use in edible crop operations.

BioSafe ZeroTol 2.0 is a peracetic acid (PAA) based bactericide and fungicide that kills algae, bacteria, fungi, and their spores on contact. It provides broad-spectrum control across multiple pathogen classes with no residue concerns from the active chemistry. ZeroTol 2.0 is labeled for use on edible crops and greenhouse food crops, making it suitable for growers who need effective pathogen control without compromising harvest safety.

Key Features & Benefits

• Kills on contact — peracetic acid chemistry kills algae, bacteria, fungi, and their spores on contact — no extended exposure period required.
• Broad-spectrum control — effective against multiple pathogen classes simultaneously: algae, bacteria, and fungi.
• Labeled for edibles — labeled for use on edible crops and greenhouse food crops, suitable for operations where food safety requirements restrict use of conventional fungicides.
• No residue concerns — PAA chemistry breaks down into acetic acid and oxygen after use, leaving no persistent chemical residue.
• 55 gal size — available in fifty-five gallons for facilities of different scales.

Who Should Use BioSafe ZeroTol 2.0 (55 gal)

Greenhouse and indoor growers who need broad-spectrum pathogen control across algae, bacteria, and fungi — particularly those growing edible crops where residue-free and food-safe disinfectant options are required.

ZeroTol 2.0 as Part of a Facility Sanitation Program

ZeroTol 2.0 is used as a surface and equipment disinfectant between crop cycles and as a preventive treatment during the grow cycle to control algae, bacteria, and fungal growth in irrigation systems and on facility surfaces. It can be applied as a liquid spray or through BioSafe BioFoamer Tank equipment for foam application. Use alongside BioSafe GreenClean Acid Cleaner for a complete facility sanitation protocol — GreenClean removes mineral and whitewash deposits that ZeroTol does not target. Follow all label instructions for dilution, contact time, re-entry intervals, and personal protective equipment requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BioSafe ZeroTol 2.0?

ZeroTol 2.0 is a peracetic acid (PAA) based broad-spectrum bactericide and fungicide. It kills algae, bacteria, fungi, and their spores on contact and is labeled for use on edible crops and greenhouse food crops.

How does ZeroTol 2.0 kill pathogens?

ZeroTol 2.0 uses peracetic acid (PAA), which is a powerful oxidizing agent that disrupts cell membranes and other cellular structures in microorganisms — killing algae, bacteria, fungi, and their spores on contact.

Is ZeroTol 2.0 safe for use on edible crops?

ZeroTol 2.0 is labeled for use on edible crops and greenhouse food crops. Always follow the product label for specific application rates, crops, timing, re-entry intervals, and pre-harvest intervals.

How does ZeroTol 2.0 compare to GreenClean Acid Cleaner?

ZeroTol 2.0 is a broad-spectrum bactericide and fungicide for pathogen control. GreenClean Acid Cleaner is a surface cleaner for removing mineral scale, whitewash, and biofilm deposits. Both products are often used together in a complete facility sanitation protocol — GreenClean removes deposits that ZeroTol cannot target.

Can ZeroTol 2.0 be applied through BioFoamer equipment?

Yes — ZeroTol 2.0 can be applied through BioSafe BioFoamer Tank equipment using BioSafe BioFoamer Foaming Agent. Foam application extends contact time on treated surfaces, improving pathogen control efficacy.
