RootShield Home & Garden
 Biological
fungicide for control of plant diseases. Rootshield contains live spores of
Trichoderma harzinum, a beneficial fungus, which grow on plant roots as they
develop and provide prolonged protection against plant harmful root pathogens
such as Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Pythium. Use when soil temperatures are
above 50°F, at a rate of 1-2 tablespoons per gallon for a 25 feet row of
seeds or 25 square feet of transplants. See our web site for complete details.
Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) approved.

WHAT IS ROOTSHIELD?
RootShield is the highly-effective,
beneficial fungus Trichoderma harzianum strain T-22, a special hybrid
strain developed in a university microbial breeding program. It
provides natural, season-long control of root diseases because it
grows on the entire plant root system (root colonization). Most
importantly, it is non-toxic to humans, animals and is environmentally
safe.
WHAT DOES ROOTSHIELD BIOLOGICAL FUNGICIDE
DO?
RootShield protects roots from diseases caused
by Pythium, Rhizoctonia and Fusarium and permits stronger, healthier
root systems. It allows greater soil exploration and enhanced nutrient
uptake.

"...Using RootShield exclusively on our
cyclamen and Christmas cactus crops with astounding results...costs of
fungicide treatment cut roughly in half...loss percentages are at an
all-time low...cost savings have been significant...plant to use

"...using RootShield (our)
results were outstanding...geraniums finished 10 days earlier than
normal...impatiens 14 days earlier with no rootproblems and flowers
20% larger...bedding flats finished 5 days ahead of schedule and were
much greener and healthier...90,000 Christmas cactus cuttings had no
root diseases...poinsettia stock had no soil-born diseases...all crops
used 20% less fertilizers becuase the plants have more roots and
utilize the fertilizers better..." McAdoo,
