Sodium dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC or NaDCC), as a highly efficient and broad-spectrum disinfectant, has significant advantages in disinfecting swimming pool water. In addition to being used as a pool chemcal, SDIC disinfectant also has a wide range of applications in agricultural and breeding industry. Its unique chemical properties enable it to quickly dissolve in the water and release hypochlorous acid, which effectively kills bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogenic microorganisms, providing a strong guarantee for all aspects of agricultural production.

SDIC Disinfectant in Seed Treatment
In general, stored seeds are easily infected by moulds, and treating seeds with appropriate concentration of SDIC solution can effectively improve their preservation effect and reduce the incidence. For example, using 3,000 mg/L of SDIC disinfectant to treat rice seeds infected with bakanae disease for 8 hours can reduce the incidence of rice seedlings from 97.3% to 4.7%. Moreover, treating rice seeds with 4.6% SDIC solution for 30 minutes can greatly improve the emergence and setting of seedlings.
SDIC Disinfectant in Fruits and Vegetables Preservation
In the fruits and vegetables preservation, SDIC disinfectant also plays an important role. Applying SDIC solution to the surface of fruits and vegetables in the spraying or soaking method, can effectively kill the pathogens on the surface and extend their shelf life. Meanwhile, due to its low toxicity and low residue characteristics, the use of SDIC disinfectant to treat vegetables and fruits is safer when eating. Typically, root tubers need to be soaked in 25-50 mg/L of chlorine solution for disinfection. Sweet and hot peppers and tomatoes can be washed with 100 mg/L chlorine solution (contact time over 1 minute), and then dry with a soft cloth. After disinfection, please remember to rinse with water to remove residual disinfectants.


SDIC Disinfectant In Animal Husbandry
In animal husbandry, SDIC is widely used for disinfection of livestock and poultry houses and the environment. Its powerful bacteria-killing ability can quickly kill bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms in livestock and poultry houses, reducing animal morbidity and improving breeding benefits. Generally, you need to disinfect the barn and livestock once a week, and it is recommended to use spray disinfection for livestock; to disinfect the environment once or twice a week. In addition, SDIC disinfectant can also be used for disinfection of livestock and poultry drinking water to ensure clean and safe water sources.
SDIC Disinfectant in Silkworm Rearing
Nowadays, SDIC disinfectant has gradually gained widespread popularity in sericulture. Compared with other traditional disinfectants, SDIC has the advantages of high solubility, good stability, long-lasting efficacy, etc., and has little effect on the silkworm growth and quality. Because the silkworm is easily infected by viruses, bacteria and fungi, and there is high rearing density, once the disease spreads, it will result in a significant decline in the number of cocoons. Using SDIC to disinfect silkworm chambers, silkworm tools and silkworm bodies can effectively prevent and control the occurrence of silkworm diseases.


SDIC Disinfectant as Smoke Fumigant
SDIC used in fumigants is a special application, which mainly heats and burns chemicals to produce fumes for fumigation. SDIC will release chlorine gas under the action of the accelerant so as to disinfect the environment. This disinfection method is suitable for the above-mentioned animal husbandry and silkworm rearing. When using SDIC disinfectant for fumigation, it produces smoke quickly and has mass fumes, thus being evenly distributed to all corners of the poultry and silkworm house to ensure the disinfection effect.
To sum up, the application of SDIC disinfectant in agricultural and breeding industry covers many fields, including seed treatment, vegetables and fruits preservation, animal husbandry, sericulture and fumigation. Its high efficiency, broad spectrum bactericidal ability, low toxicity and low residue characteristics and flexible application methods make SDIC an indispensable disinfectant in agricultural production.
