New product

RootShield® PLUS+ is the next generation of RootShield® containing two active ingredients (Trichoderma harzianum strain T-22, and Trichoderma virens strain G-41), that provides 3 months of preventive control of major root diseases including soilborne Phytophthora. RootShield PLUS also controls diseases caused by Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Fusarium, Thielaviopsis and Cylindrocladium – with improved suppression of the aggressive hot-season Pythium (P. aphanidermatum).

Use on greenhouse and nursery ornamentals, vegetables, herbs and fruits. RootShield PLUS inhibits and actively attacks pathogens, ensuring uninterrupted plant growth.

Available in granules and wettable powder formulations -- one application protects roots for up to 12 weeks and costs less than 2¢ per 6-inch pot. Lower your costs by eliminating or reducing the need for chemical root fungicides, and reducing material and labor costs of repetitive drenching.

Application
Apply RootShield PLUS early, before roots have emerged or fully developed. The actively growing fungi form a “shield” by growing around the roots. Forming that “shield” right away is key to preventing pathogens from damaging the roots. RootShield PLUS will protect plugs, cuttings, liners, and all container plants.

Incorporate into media. RootShield PLUS Granules is compatible with all soils, all soilless media including peat-, bark- and coir-based mixes, as well as substrates used in hydroponic growing.
RootShield PLUS+ WP

The wettable powder can be drenched into the soil for root rot protection on ornamentals and edible crops. RootShield PLUS WP can be applied through low pressure watering nozzles, irrigation boom type sprayers or sprinklers, subirrigation (5-6 oz/100 gals.) or other drench watering systems.
