Maybe a cupful of peracedic acid in the final rinse.

We started pre spraying and wiping with deosan target and the problem disappeared overnight.

Can you do a chlorine based wash once a day for a few days and do a double rinse afterwards? Or do a chlorine free wash after the chlorine based one?

That's generally our go-to programme when the thermoduric count rises.

4 zones in NI, 1 is the South East, 4 is the north east and will be last to be done. If you don't do it you won't get the money from the schemes that will replace the SFP. In simple terms no soil testing no public money. The concerns are that the data on P and K levels will be used in future to control fertiliser usage on those fields. Dears say it won't be...but then they would say that. Deadline for zone 1 is Wednesday!!!
What is it and do we get paid for being in it?
