Old Reviews Actinovate Organic Fungicide

[lloyd]

Has anyone heard about or used Actinovate organic fungicide in their grows? From what I've gathered at many Internet sources it can be used throughout the entire life of consumable plants, from germination through harvest. It ain't cheap, but I hear it's very good for all consumable horticulture, ncluding autoflowers. Below are a few supportive comments (cut/paste paragraphs from manufacturer, EPA, and cannabis growers.

Natural, organic Actinovate® fungicide helps prevent a wide range of plant diseases, including late blight on tomatoes and other garden vegetables. May be used on vegetables, fruits, annual and perennial flowers, trees, shrubs and lawns. Used as a preventative, it reduces the likelihood that plants will be infected with pythium blight, verticillium, fusarium, powdery mildew, brown patch, take-all patch, dollarspot, downy mildew, gray mold, root rot, damping off, crown rot, black spot, leaf spots, rusts and more.

This organic fungicide (Streptomyces lydicus strain WYEC108) is now commercially marketed as an antifungal biocontrol agent and plant growth promoting agent in horticulture and agriculture. The products is EPA registered and sold as a biological fungicide, by Natural Industries, Inc., of Houston, Texas. While the market to date has been primarily to the horticulture industry, product is now being used in agriculture to protect various cropts against fungal root and foliage diseases. The overall focus of research is on interactions between rhizosphere-colonizing Streptomyces and plant species. The objective is to determine the importance of this unique plant-microbe interaction in enhancing plant growth, and ultimately also agricultural crop yields. http://www.reeis.usda.gov/web/crisp...romoting-streptomyces-in-the-rhizosphere.html.

its a wettable powder which is better than a standard powder so it'll be better absorbed by the leaves(and better to kill wee bugs n fungi) or soil and mix better.i took a look at it and it looks good to me.id use it if i didnt have anything else.prolly last you a good long while too.wettable powder is nice to store too over winter n things.so ease of use is key there too. I say go for it if ya wanna buy it man.:Sharing One: stick a small touch of kelp and a wetting agent such as yucca and/or a drop or two of perfume free liquid soap such as dawn or an all natural liquid soap and you have a sweet little hotshot for your garden man.indoors or out.:Sharing One:
