THE BENEFITS OF STEAM TREATMENT
A technique of past that today
represents the future
Steam treatment began in the 1970s in Netherlands, was soon adopted in Italy as a substitute for methyl bromide.
It used to be considered too expensive, but today this technique is making a comeback and shows us that, if applied methodically, you can achieve surprising results and significant financial benefits.
In recent years more and more companies have decided to switch to steam, especially in France, Spain and Italy.
TOTAL AUTONOMY
A treatment that can be applied independently, without the need for patents or permit applications
Vaporizont is simple and intuitive to use, requiring no specialised labour or licence.
No more dependence on professionals, treatment can be performed independently by the company's own staff and no authorisations of any kind are required. It can be carried out throughout the year without being subject to seasons, temperatures or other environmental conditions.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Only 100% pure water vapor is used, so the soil is not
polluted with chemicals
With the European regulations on pesticides, soon most of the common chemicals will have to be definitively abandoned.
Every year in Italy thousands of farmers are left at the mercy of extensions which are often late in arriving, a mechanism that causes uncertainty and destined to end.
It will be essential not to be found unprepared, which is why many companies are already moving forward by adopting alternative solutions.
INCREASE YIELD
Greater quality and quantity of the product,
customers experience an increase in crop yields
Treatment with Vaporizont has concrete results on pathogens and weeds, thus reducing land management costs by up to 15%. In addition, there is an increase in the yield of the lots which, in some cases, is higher than 35%.

Statistical surveys show that damage caused by pathogens and pests can have a significant impact on company budgets.
Farmers pay more attention to the negative economic impact that usual treatments produce, moving towards alternative solutions such as steam.
UNIQUE SOLUTION
Acts simultaneously on weeds, fungi, nematodes and other pathogens
It acts to broad spectrum on pathogens and weeds with an efficacy of up to 100%.
Results can already be seen from the first treatment which, repeated cyclically over time, will be more effective each time.
By habitually treating with steam, especially in protected spaces such as greenhouses and tunnels, the effects will last longer and fewer treatments will be needed throughout the year.
REDUCE TIMES
The sheets remain in place for only 24 hours, after which time the soil is ready and workable.
Unlike with other methods, with which weeks if not months are lost, the soil is not "stopped". The time taken to lay the sheets is only 24 hours.
It is thus possible to recover production cycles and sfuse the plots more.
The work is considerably speeded up since, in the space of a day, it is possible to treat and at the same time prepare or sow the adjacent plots.
PROTECT YOUR HEALTH
A natural and harmless solution to protect today's and tomorrow's human health
It is well known that many plant protection products are harmful to humans, especially to the operator who works closely with them. These substances can in fact cause acute or chronic intoxications and some even have carcinogenic effects.
The alternative is a more natural and harmless solution such as steam which can be applied anywhere, with no limits due to proximity to homes, authorization requests or health risks for operators and consumers.
