Why Winter Encourages Wall Fungus in Storage Facilities & How L44-FG Eliminates It

ree

1. Introduction

Winter season creates the ideal environment for fungal growth inside storage facilities. Low temperatures, high humidity, and lack of ventilation allow fungus to develop rapidly on walls, crates and inner surfaces.L44-FG Fumigation Ultimate provides a powerful plant-based solution to eliminate this winter fungus and maintain clean storage conditions.


2. Why Winter Encourages Wall Fungus

During winter, storage rooms experience strong moisture retention due to cold air and reduced evaporation. Walls absorb this moisture and stay damp for long hours. Since sunlight rarely reaches indoor storage areas, fungal spores multiply quickly on wet surfaces, leading to patches, mould layers and contamination.


3. Key Problems in Winter Storage

A) Damp Walls Hold Moisture Longer

Cold temperatures slow drying, allowing water to remain trapped in walls and corners, which activates fungal growth.

B) Rapid Spore Spread in Closed Spaces

Fog and condensation increase humidity inside the facility, helping spores travel through the air and infect produce.

C) Contamination Risk for Stored Fruits & Vegetables

Fungal walls release spores that settle on apples, grapes, pomegranates, onions, potatoes and other stored produce, reducing their shelf life.


4. How L44-FG Fumigation Ultimate Helps

A) Eliminates Airborne & Surface Fungus

L44-FG releases a fine botanical vapour that penetrates the entire storage area, killing fungal spores in the air and on surfaces.

B) Controls Moisture-Driven Contamination

Its plant-based formulation neutralizes microbial activity triggered by cold-season humidity.

C) Creates a Clean Storage Environment

Regular fumigation with L44-FG prevents mould from forming on walls, crates, racks and ceilings, ensuring a hygienic atmosphere for produce.


5. Benefits

  • Prevents fungus formation on walls and storage surfaces

  • Protects stored fruits and vegetables from airborne contamination

  • Reduces spore spread during winter humidity

  • Improves storage hygiene and prevents cross-contamination

  • Extends the safe storage life of fresh produce

  • Ideal for cold rooms, packhouses and warehouses during winter season


6. Conclusion

Winter naturally encourages fungal growth on storage walls due to moisture retention and limited ventilation.L44-FG Fumigation Ultimate eliminates this fungus effectively, ensuring a clean, safe and contamination-free storage environment for fresh produce throughout the winter months.
