Abstract

Agricultural irrigation systems represent complex physicochemical environments capable of supporting persistent microbial populations. These microbial communities establish on wetted infrastructure surfaces and contribute to long-term system instability, including emitter flow restriction, biofilm formation, and infrastructure degradation. Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) serves as a primary environmental determinant governing microbial survival, attachmen

Abstract

Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening disease, represents one of the

most severe biological threats to citrus agriculture globally. Caused by the

phloem-limited bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, HLB disrupts vascular

transport systems and leads to progressive tree decline and mortality. While

transmission is primarily associated with the Asian citrus psyllid vector, microbial

persistence within irrigation en

Abstract

In agricultural production and post-harvest handling, inconsistent pathogen control is commonly attributed to environmental variability, application technique, or insufficient chemical strength. However, increasing evidence suggests that biofilm-mediated microbial protection plays a critical and often underappreciated role in treatment failure.

Jenfitch, Inc. is proud to share the results of an in-field citrus study conducted at Wheeler Farms, evaluating the performance of JC 9465 on citrus trees affected by citrus canker and HLB (Huanglongbing / citrus greening).

Fly control failures at scale are rarely caused by a lack of effort or an absence of products. They occur because most solutions were never designed for the environments in which they are deployed. In high-load agricultural and industrial operations, fly pressure is continuous, biologically reinforced, and environmentally protected. Effective control under these conditions requires chemistry that functions within real systems — not around them. Jenfitch developed JC FlyGuard 9620 i

In today’s livestock industry, efficiency, animal comfort, and sustainability all depend on one fundamental factor: how well producers manage the waste environment that supports their herds. Whether it’s a deep-pit barn, a slatted-floor confinement system, or an open lagoon, wet organic buildup becomes the perfect breeding ground for flies—one of the most persistent challenges in animal housing.

For decades, operations have relied on 

The piece highlights how biosurfactant chemistry provides a sustainable, source-level solution for fly management in livestock environments—particularly deep-pit, slatted-floor, and lagoon systems. It fits naturally alongside your recent Livestock Product Alert content, complementing topics like manure handling, barn design, and herd health.

This white paper provides a detailed, research-informed review of the multifaceted economic, regulatory, and public health impacts of flying insect populations in industrial and agricultural facilities. It synthesizes current literature on disease vectoring, operational disruption, compliance risk, and community impact, before introducing JC FlyGuard 9620 as a systems-based solution engineered to break the recurring cycle of infestation and re-infestation. Readers will gain an understanding o

In California’s sun-soaked vineyards, where the wine and table grape industries are cornerstones of the state’s agricultural economy, powdery mildew remains a relentless adversary. Caused by the fungal pathogen Erysiphe necator, powdery mildew is one of the most pervasive and damaging diseases in viticulture, affecting both the yield and the market quality of grapes.

Once established, powdery mildew spreads rapidly, producing a characteristic white, powdery c
