BioWorks RootShield Plus WP Biological Fungicide

RootShield PLUS+ WP is more than your typical biofungicide. Featuring a patented combination of Trichoderma strains, RootShield PLUS+ WP helps roots grow faster and stronger - enabling your crops to fight off a broader range of diseases under a wider range of conditions.

RootShield PLUS+ grows in soils and on roots, shielding them against root damaging fungi, promoting healthier roots and increasing root mass potential. It provides preventative control of major root rot and damping off diseases, including soilborne Phytophthora, Pythium, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Cylindrocladium, and Thielaviopsis, controlling disease for up to 12 weeks. Multiple modes of action make it an ideal tool for fungicide resistance management. RootShield PLUS+ can be used alone, in a tank mix, or in rotation as part of an IPM program.

Features and Benefits:

• Delivers faster and stronger root development
• Promotes more root hair growth to increase water and nutrient uptake
• Helps plants resist/overcome drought stress and transplant shock
• Extensively tested for compatibility with other fungicides, fertilizers, algaecides, insecticides, disinfectants, miticides, herbicides, and growth regulators
• Ideal for most plant health management programs
