General Information:

Actinovate® SP is a biological fungicide for the suppression/control of root rot
and damping-off fungi and the suppression/control of foliar fungal pathogens. Soil
borne fungi controlled include Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Phytophthora,
Phytomatotricum, Aphanomyces, Monosporascus, Armillaria, Sclerotinia, Postia,
Verticillium, Geotrichum, and other root-decay fungi. The active ingredient in
Actinovate® SP colonizes the root system and protects it from harmful fungi.
Actinovate® SP effectively suppresses/controls foliar diseases such as Powdery
and Downy Mildew, Greasy Spot, Botrytis. Sclerotinia, Alternaria, and others.

When applied to the soil Actinovate® SP also breaks down minerals and
micronutrients making them more available to plants resulting in increased size and
vitality. Plants and lawns treated with Actinovate® SP as a soil drench will become
hardier, more vigorous and have a robust and protected root system.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS:
Compatibility

Actinovate® SP is completely soluble and does not require agitation to keep
suspended in a solution. Actinovate® SP is compatible with chemical fungicides,
insecticides and fertilizers. If tank mixes are desired, observe all directions,
precautions and limitations on labeling of all products used. Actinovate® SP
can be tank mixed with all chemical fungicides, insecticides, and fertilizers
unless otherwise restricted. Avoid tank mixing with bactericides. Avoid applying
bactericides and soil fumigants to the areas treated with Actinovate® SP. Consult
manufacturer for compatibility questions.

Application Timing

Apply Actinovate® SP throughout the growing season from early spring to late
fall on all types of turf, ornamental, and vegetable crops (greenhouse use only for
vegetable crops).

Application Uses:

Actinovate® SP is a biological fungicide for use in soil and seed coating
applications (drench and in furrow) and greenhouse foliar applications in or on
all raw agricultural commodities, food and fiber crops (greenhouse use only),
ornamentals, landscape plants, including tree seedlings for transplanting to the
field.

GREENHOUSE, NURSERY OR INTERIORSCAPE DRENCH

Mix 4-6 oz. of Actinovate® SP in 100 gallons of water to create solution. Apply
solution as a drench to plants/growing media at a rate of 1 gallon per cubic foot of
growing media (this equates to enough solution to saturate soil without creating
run-off).

For smaller quantities: Use 1 teaspoon of Actinovate SP per 2 gallons of water to
create solution and apply as above.

Actinovate® SP can be applied through low pressure watering nozzles such as fan
nozzles, through overhead boom type sprayers or sprinklers, hydroponics systems,
injectors, flood benches or other drench watering systems. Actinovate® SP is

compatible with chemical fungicides, insecticides, and fertilizers as well as other
biological products.

GREENHOUSE FOLIAR SPRAYS

For preventative suppression/control of powdery mildew, downy mildew, Botrytis,
Greasy Spot, Sclerotinia, and Alternaria and other foliar diseases on indoor
greenhouse crops.
Apply 6-12 oz Actinovate® SP per acre. Dissolve Actinovate® SP in 50-100
gallons of water and apply to foliage and blossoms every 7 to 14 days depending on
disease pressure. Crop size, spray equipment and local practice will determine the
volume of water needed. Spray to wet, but avoid run-off. Actinovate® SP can be
applied using hand-held backpack or ground spray equipment. Clean application
equipment before use of this product, and use prepared sprays within 4 hours of
preparation.
For best results use a non-ionic spreader-sticker in conjunction with
application. Consult manufacturer or sales representative for specific product
recommendations.
For best results set spray equipment at 50 PSI or less.

Cutting or Bare Rooted Transplant Dip:

Dip cuttings or transplants in Actinovate® SP dry powder or in a solution of 18-oz
Actinovate® SP and 5 gallons water. For larger trees or woody ornamental, dissolve
18-oz of Actinovate® SP in 50 gallons of water and let bare root plants soak in the
solution for 4-12 hours prior to planting. Plant treated cuttings or transplants in
potting mix or soil in the usual manner.

Ornamental Bulb Crops:

Soak bulbs in solution of Actinovate® SP at 6 -18 oz per 100 lbs. of bulbs.
Thoroughly cover all surfaces of bulbs with solution for 1 hour prior to planting).

Seed Coating

In a slurry or as a spray use 6 -18 oz of Actinovate SP in 0.5-2.0 pints of water to
treat 100 lbs of seed.

TURF GRASS:

Mix Actinovate® SP with appropriate amount of water (100-125 gallons per
acre). Apply at a rate of 52-oz of Actinovate® SP per acre for initial application
or problem areas. Apply maintenance applications of 18 oz. per acre every 6 to
8 weeks.

For smaller application areas:
For initial application or problem area use 3 heaping tablespoons of Actinovate
dissolved in 5 gallons of water to create a solution. Apply solution to soil at a rate
of 5 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. of turf grass.
Reapply every 6-8 weeks as a maintenance application. Use 1 heaping tablespoon
of Actinovate® SP dissolved in 5 gallons of water to create a solution. Apply
solution to soil at a rate of 5 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. of turf.

LANDSCAPE

For Transplants, Installations and Established Plants: Dissolve 1 teaspoon per 2
gallons of water to create a solution. Apply solution to soil around plant's root
system until soil is saturated without creating a run-off. Apply to plant before,
during or after transplant.

GREENHOUSE CHEMIGATION

Apply Actinovate® SP at 4-6 oz per 100 gallons of water. Actinovate® SP may
be applied through 1) overhead boom and mist-type systems, sprinklers such as
impact or micro-sprinklers 2) pressurized drench (flood) or drip (trickle) systems
3) micro irrigation such as spaghetti-tube or individual tube irrigation, 3) hand-held
calibrated irrigation equipment such as hand-held wand with injector and 5) ebb
and flow systems.

Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.

Plant injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution of
treated water. Questions concerning calibration should be directed to your State
Extension Service Specialist, the equipment manufacturer or other expert.

Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public
water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water
systems are in place.

The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-
pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water
source contamination from back flow.

A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its
operation or under the supervision of a responsible person, shall shut the system
down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.

The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-
closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed,
solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and
connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the
supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut
down.

The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off
the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.

The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which
will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point
where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection
pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials
that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system
interlock.

If you have any questions regarding calibrations, contact equipment
manufacturers, state extension specialists or other experts.
