 BioWorks
is pleased to announce that RootShield® WP has been approved by
the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) for sale in
California. RootShield WP, EPA registered in August 2008, is a
new and improved formulation of their currently registered
biological fungicide, PlantShield® HC.
With this enhanced wettable powder formulation, RootShield WP
will not clog drip emitters, drip tape or irrigation booms.
RootShield WP provides preventative control of major root
diseases including Pythium, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia Thielaviopsis
and Cylindrocladium by growing on roots, protecting them against
damaging fungi. RootShield WP is registered for indoor and
outdoor root disease control on greenhouse and outdoor
ornamentals, herbs, and vegetables, and has a 0-hour Restricted
Entry Interval (REI) - the lowest REI of all biological
fungicides.
"California growers have been eagerly awaiting approval for this
product," noted Matt Needham, BioWorks' western technical
service manager. "The wide range of crops RootShield can be used
on and its proven success in protecting against root rot, have
lead to its high demand," he added.
BioWorks products are available from horticultural distributors
across the country. Matthew Needham (209-351-1664) serves as
BioWorks' representative for the western U.S. region.
