ACTINOVATE®   More Than A Fungicide

LABEL (Above) Marigolds two weeks after transplant: Left, untreated; Right, treated with Actinovate

Actinovate® SP is a high concentration of a patented beneficial bacterium on a 100% water soluble powder. This powerful new product effectively suppresses/controls a wide range of soil borne diseases including Pythium, Phytophthora, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Verticillium and other root decay fungi. Actinovate SP is also labeled as a spray application for foliar diseases (when appled as a spray) such as Powdery and Downey Mildew, Botrytis, Alternaria and others. In fact, when used as a preventative, researchers have seen Actinovate SP work as well or better than most chemicals. The benefits of Actinovate SP don't stop there: Because of the special properties of the Actinovate microbe, plants treated with Actinovate SP will be vigorous, have increased vitality and have much better root growth. Actinovate SP contains the microorganism Streptomyces lydicus strain WYEC 108. When introduced into the soil this microbe colonizes and grows around the root system of plants. While settling in the root's rhizosphere the microbe forms a synergetic relationship, feeding off of the plant's waste materials while secreting beneficial and protective by-products. This combination of the colonization and the protective secretions forms a defensive barrier around the root system of the plant which in turn suppresses and controls soil pathogens. S. lydicus also has been shown to prey on certain pathogens, disrupting their cell walls and disabling them in the process. Finally, the by-products of the Actinovate microorganism also aid plants in complexing minerals and micronutrients found in the soil, allowing easier uptake and, thus, creating a stronger, more robust plant. This symbiotic relationship between plant and microbe is the optimum balance for a natural, productive soil environment. Actinovate SP makes it happen.

Actinovate AG is a high concentration of a patented beneficial bacterium on a 100% water soluble powder. When applied as a spray this powerful new product is extremely effective against a wide range of foliar diseases including Powdery and Downey Mildew, Botrytis, Alternaria and other aerial borne pathogens. Actinovate AG is also labeled as a soil drench application for root decay diseases such as Pythium, Phytophthora, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Verticillium, Phymatotrichum omnivorum (cotton root rot)and other root decay fungi. In fact, when used as a preventative, researchers have seen Actinovate AG work as well or better than most chemicals. The benefits of Actinovate AG don't stop there: Because of the special properties of the Actinovate microbe, plants treated with Actinovate AG will be vigorous, have increased vitality and have much better root growth. Actinovate AG contains the patented microorganism Streptomyces lydicus strain WYEC 108. When introduced into the plant this microbe colonizes and grows around the root system (as a drench) and foliage (as a spray). At this point the microbe forms a synergetic relationship, feeding off of the plant's exudes while secreting beneficial and anti-fungal byproducts. This combination of the colonization and the protective secretions forms a defensive barrier around the plant which in turn suppresses/controls disease causing pathogens. The Actinovate microbe also has been shown to prey on certain fungi, disrupting their cell walls and disabling them in the process. This symbiotic relationship between plant and microbe is the optimum balance for a natural, productive growing environment. Actinovate AG makes it happen.

ROOTSHIELD WP or PLANTSHIELD

Based on the highly-effective, patented, hybrid fungus Trichoderma harzianum, strain T-22, RootShield Granules and PlantShield HC (a wettable powder formulation), protects roots, stems and leaves from many pathogens. They block and actively attack pathogens by “eating” them; ensuring uninterrupted plant growth. RootShield Granules and PlantShield HC are preventative biofungicides and should be applied to “clean” plants. Diseased plants should be treated with a curative fungicide first, since the aggressively growing active ingredient (strain T-22) only grows on the outside and does not enter the plant tissue. RootShield Granules and PlantShield HC are compatible with fertilizers, algaecides, insecticides, disinfectants, miticides, herbicides, growth regulators, and nearly all fungicides.

Rootshield WP  $89.00 per 1 pound package (same active ingredient and use as PLANTSHIELD)

Mildew Cure™       Natural Powdery Mildew Fungicide

Mildew Cure is a natural, organic fungicide that provides good control of powdery mildew on various crops and ornamentals. A powdery mildew fungus is an obligatory parasite and thus requires a living plant host. Powdery mildew colonies quickly render a flowery potted plant undesirable. The powdery mildews infect a wide range of plants and are well represented on ornamentals, vegetables, and fruit crops.

As Mildew Cure is derived from garlic extracts and other essential oils, these active ingredients are food grade materials. The US EPA has exempted Mildew Cure from registration under FIFRA Sec. 25b. It has no residue tolerance limits for any food crops, including fruits and berries.
