Hoplite Moss Algicide for Greenhouse Floor and Bench Sanitation

Hoplite moss algicide controls liverwort, moss, algae, and lichens on greenhouse floors, propagation benches, and around container-grown ornamentals. The active ingredient is potassium salts of fatty acids. It disrupts the lipid-protein matrix of cellular membranes in moss and algae. Affected growth yellows and browns soon after spray contact. The result is rapid desiccation and cell death across the target organism. EPA Reg. No. 67702-43 covers the product across U.S. ornamental and greenhouse use sites. The 1-gallon concentrate handles routine floor and bench sanitation in commercial operations.

Liverwort, Moss, Algae Control with a 24-Hour REI and 0-Day PHI

Growers typically match application timing to dry windows so the soap solution stays on the target long enough to break membranes. The 24-hour REI keeps the crew out of treated areas for a full day. The 0-day PHI means no wait before harvest on fruiting crops. The formulation is non-staining and biodegradable, with no metal salts and no alcohol. That suits floor and bench treatments where overspray onto ornamental foliage is hard to avoid. Apply at the labeled rate. Hoplite is a contact algicide. Treated organisms brown and yellow soon after the spray dries.
