Published in Leonard W. Casson, James W. Bess, Conversion to On-Site Sodium Hypochlorite Generation, 2019
Leonard W. Casson, James W. Bess
An alternative to sodium hypochlorite is to use potassium hypochlorite. Potassium hypochlorite offers the opportunity to disinfect the irrigation system as well as provide an essential nutrient for the plants. Field tests have proven that crop yields will increase substantially when potassium hypochlorite is the irrigation disinfectant.
Glossary of scientific and technical terms in bioengineering and biological engineering
Published in Megh R. Goyal, Scientific and Technical Terms in Bioengineering and Biological Engineering, 2018
Hypochlorite refers to the aqueous solutions of sodium hypochlorite, potassium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite, which are oxidizing agents and used for disinfecting surfaces and surface-sterilizing tissues, and for bleaching.

The accumulation of DBPs in plants and potential health effects also need to be carefully considered (Dannehl, Schuch, Gao, Cordiner, & Schmidt, 2016; López-Gálvez, Andujar, et al., 2018) and this is an area that would benefit from more research. Dannehl et al. (2016) found that using potassium hypochlorite as the disinfectant in a recirculating hydroponic system, resulted in higher chlorate content in the tomatoes being grown than the current European maximum residue limit. Similarly, overhead irrigation with EO treated water resulted in accumulation of chlorates in lettuce to above the maximum residue limit (López-Gálvez, Andujar et al., 2018).
