In a recent study, SaniDate 12.0 and ZeroTol 2.0 were evaluated as sanitizing products to control Fusarium in irrigation water. 
Both products proved to be toxic to the conidia of Fusarium with 100 percent kill observed at concentrations greater than 500 and 200 μL/L for ZeroTol 2.0 and SaniDate 12.0 respectively, with a 15 minute contact time. This is equivalent to product concentrations of > 0.05 percent for ZeroTol 2.0 and >0.02 percent for SaniDate 12.0.
The study also confirmed that these two products are potential safe alternatives to traditional chemistries such as chlorine bleach and quaternary ammonium compounds.
