Synexis® has helped our closed air loop facility achieve an acceptable level of powdery mildew expression on our commercial lettuce production (little to no visible evidence of powdery mildew in the harvested crop). We have also used Synexis technology in our cannabis R&D facility. Besides keeping our product free of mold and mildew, the Synexis devices showed a 100x reduction in VOCs within the room. These measurements were taken for 90 days with multiple plants in flower to demonstrate the effectiveness of Synexis devices to reduce odor — what a great side-effect to an already incredible mildew reduction technology.
