* Crop disease control:
* Orchard post-harvest management: In Italy, chlorine dioxide water is used to control post-harvest rot diseases such as brown rot (Monilinia laxa) that occur in fruits such as peaches. In the Italian situation where post-harvest sterilization is not allowed, chlorine dioxide is attracting attention as an alternative to chemical control.
Chlorine dioxide is also commercially used to control fungal rot bacteria in corn, pears, etc. after harvest.
* Direct spraying on soil and crops: Chlorine dioxide water has excellent soil fungal suppression effect compared to chemical pesticides when applied to soil, and is effective in controlling diseases that occur in the soil when cultivating crops.
In a specific study, it showed similar or higher effect than pesticides in suppressing pathogens in ginseng soil.
* Eco-friendly disease control: Diluted chlorine dioxide water spraying is being studied as an eco-friendly control method for cucumber downy mildew, garlic leaf blight, and rust, and it is actually preventing various fungal and viral diseases such as anthracnose, downy mildew, and gray mold on peppers, perilla leaves, and cucumbers in farms.
* Pest control: Chlorine dioxide water has been used in mango farming to reduce not only anthracnose but also thrips and mites, and it is also used in pepper and paprika farms to control pests such as thrips and mites, contributing to the promotion of crop growth.
* Extension of agricultural product storage and distribution period: Various agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, ginseng, and magnolia berry are washed with chlorine dioxide water after harvest to prevent rot and extend the distribution period. This plays an important role in maintaining the safety and freshness of food.
* Hydroponics and nutrient solution management: When growing vegetables and ginseng in hydroponics, chlorine dioxide is applied to the nutrient solution to suppress the growth of pathogens and improve the crop growth environment.

* Livestock house disinfection and environmental improvement:
* Disease prevention and quarantine: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends livestock house disinfection using chlorine dioxide in the standard guidelines for avian influenza (AI) quarantine.
Chlorine dioxide is effective in controlling various viral and bacterial diseases such as avian influenza in poultry, chicken mites, foot-and-mouth disease in pigs, diarrhea, African swine fever, foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, tuberculosis, and brucellosis.
* Drinking water and feed disinfection: Chlorine dioxide is added to drinking water and feed for livestock to sterilize pathogens and promote the health of livestock.
* Odor removal: Chlorine dioxide water is widely used to reduce odor by oxidizing odorous substances such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide generated in livestock houses (pig houses, chicken houses, cow houses). This helps reduce stress on livestock and improve the working environment.
* Air quality improvement: By applying chlorine dioxide air fog inside livestock houses, in addition to odor removal and quarantine effects, a cooling effect can be obtained by lowering the temperature inside the livestock house using the evaporative cooling principle.
* Sanitation management of livestock products:
* Egg sterilization: The chlorine dioxide gas fumigation method was recommended as a solution to the pesticide egg problem, and a 99.9% sterilization effect on AI-infected eggs was confirmed. It is also used for sterilization and washing before egg shipment.
* Meat and fishery product processing: Chlorine dioxide water is used for quarantine and odor removal in meat processing plants, and is used to store harvested fish or shrimp in ice containing chlorine dioxide to delay spoilage and maintain freshness. It is also effective in controlling aquatic diseases such as shrimp white spot virus and yellow head virus.
* Honeybee disease management: The use of chlorine dioxide water is being studied as an alternative for controlling diseases such as honeybee mites and cyst rot.
In this way, chlorine dioxide water contributes to solving a wide range of problems in the agricultural and livestock industries, such as pathogen control, pest control, odor reduction, and maintaining product freshness, and is positioned as an important solution for an eco-friendly and sustainable agricultural and livestock industry.
