BioWorks Inc. is
pleased to announce that Scientific Certification Systems (SCS)
has reviewed the company’s EPA registered
biological fungicide
PlantShield® HC and granted it a VeriFlora® Approved Input
Material.
VeriFlora® is a sustainability certification program for plants
and flowers. SCS recently expanded its VeriFlora® program to
include approved materials manufacturers. BioWorks’ product,
RootShield® Granules, was the first product to be approved under
this expansion.
Like RootShield® Granules, PlantShield® HC is based on a
beneficial, patented, hybrid fungus Trichoderma harzianum,
strain T-22 that protects roots, stems and leaves from many
pathogens. There have been extensive efficacy studies proving
its effectiveness compared to traditional chemical products.
Additionally, it is OMRI Listed and has a zero-hour restricted
entry interval (REI), the lowest REI of all biological
fungicides.
PlantShield® HC is labeled for indoor and outdoor root disease
control on greenhouse and outdoor ornamentals, herbs and
vegetables, and can be drenched into the soil for root rot
protection or applied as a foliar spray to prevent Botrytis and
mildews on ornamentals.
BioWorks, Inc., a privately held company, provides
environmentally responsible, safe and cost-effective solutions
to the horticulture industry. |
