ROOTSHIELD®
Home & Garden

 

Biological Fungicide Drench
For Vegetable & Flower Crops

Finally, the natural, organic control for damping off and root rots for all your vegetables and flowers. Used by professional growers for years, now available for the home gardener.

Don't let soil diseases ruin your vegetable and flower crops:
Harmful damping-off fungi like Pythium and Fusarium cause root diseases that can devastate your most promising tomato, cucumber, marigold and rose plants, so you need RootShield to set up a natural defensive barrier, right from the start. University-developed and tested for over 15 years, this beneficial fungus forms a natural bond, "shielding" your plant's roots, with one application protecting them for up to 3 months from invading, root damaging soil diseases. Mix right into your potting soil or use as a drench in the garden. One to two tablespoons mixed with 1 gallon of water protects 25 ft. of planting row.

Enhances The Root System:
·Promotes faster root development,
especially feeder root hairs.
·Provides bigger root systems for greater
soil exploration.
·Provides prolonged protection against
root damaging fungi.

A Healthy Plant Starts With A Healthy ROOT System:
·Increases root mass, enabling greater nutrient and moisture uptake.
·The active ingredient in RootShield releases compounds that make nutrients more available to the plant.
·Reduces or eliminates the need for chemical fungicides.

·0-Hour REI, EPA rating of "Exemption of Tolerance". >

·Used by organic growers throughout the U.S. (OMRI Listed).

·Can be used in rotation with insectides, rooting compounds, fertilizers and most fungicides, no hytotoxic effects recorded.
