How Jenfitch Treats It

One approved chemistry, many uses.

Flagship mineral oxychloride product JC 9465 is EPA FIFRA registered and USDA NOP Organic certified (7 CFR Part 205), so the same ORP-controlled oxidation works across organic and conventional operations. In post-harvest wash and hydro-cooling it delivers a 6-log CFU reduction in under 10 seconds on E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella at +700 mV — validated by UC Davis Post-Harvest — and eliminates cross-contamination during apple harvesting per the University of Washington.

In the field, foliar and soil applications drive crop-disease control and yield: a Sawtooth Ag Research vineyard study recorded a 49% increase in harvestable yield and a 50% reduction in sour rot. A citrus-greening protocol with GreenAgri Solutions moved trees from decline to marketable fruit, and the chemistry breaks down the biofilm that Xylella uses to clog olive xylem. It extends shelf life without changing taste — and its mildly biocidal by-products resist recontamination.

Organic-program ready

JC 9465 is USDA NOP Organic certified under 7 CFR Part 205 and EPA FIFRA registered, so growers and packers can use the same chemistry across organic and conventional lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Food & agriculture program questions.

Is the chemistry approved for organic and food use?

Yes. JC 9465 is EPA FIFRA registered and USDA NOP Organic certified under 7 CFR Part 205, so it can be used across organic and conventional operations, including post-harvest wash and hydro-cooling.

How well does it disinfect produce?

UC Davis Post-Harvest measured a 6-log CFU reduction in under 10 seconds on E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella at +700 mV, and the University of Washington found it eliminates cross-contamination during apple harvesting.

Does it change taste or extend shelf life?

It extends shelf life without changing taste. The reaction is effectively catalytic and its mineral-oxide by-products are mildly biocidal — helping resist recontamination — and below FDA limits.

What yield gains have you seen?

A Sawtooth Ag Research vineyard field study recorded a 49% increase in harvestable yield and a 50% reduction in sour rot, with clusters per vine rising from 60 to 73. Crop-yield gains across trials have ranged from 30–60%.

Can it help with crop diseases?

Yes. A citrus-greening protocol with GreenAgri Solutions moved trees to marketable fruit within 60 days, the chemistry breaks down the biofilm Xylella uses to clog olive xylem, and Bakanae losses in rice fell from about 30% to below 10%.
