Actinovate SP Fungicide - 18oz - OMRI Listed

Actinovate SP Biological Fungicide - 18oz OMRI Listed - Streptomyces lydicus for Root and Foliar Disease Control

Actinovate SP is a biological fungicide based on Streptomyces lydicus - a naturally occurring soil actinomycete that suppresses and controls both root and foliar fungal pathogens. Applied as a foliar spray, Actinovate SP suppresses and controls foliar diseases including Powdery Mildew, Downy Mildew, and Botrytis. When used as a soil drench, it also colonizes the root zone and suppresses soil-borne fungi including Pythium, Phytophthora, Fusarium, and Rhizoctonia - diseases that cause root rot and damping-off. OMRI Listed for certified organic production. Active Ingredient: Streptomyces lydicus. Signal Word: Caution. REI: 4 hours. Application rate varies by method - see product label.

Key Features & Benefits

• Biological Active Ingredient - Streptomyces lydicus: Naturally occurring soil bacterium that suppresses fungal pathogens by colonizing roots and plant tissue, competing with disease-causing organisms for space and resources.
• Dual Foliar and Soil Application: Works as both a foliar spray for above-ground disease control and a soil drench for root zone disease suppression - covers both pathogen entry points with a single product.
• Root Rot and Damping-Off Suppression: Soil drench applications suppress Pythium, Phytophthora, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Verticillium - the primary organisms responsible for root rot and seedling damping-off losses.
• Foliar Disease Control: Foliar applications suppress Powdery Mildew, Downy Mildew, Botrytis, and other foliar fungal pathogens.
• OMRI Listed - Organic Use: Certified for use in organic production programs under National Organic Program standards.

Who Should Use This

Actinovate SP is suited for organic growers, IPM practitioners, and conventional producers who want a biological fungicide option for root disease and foliar disease management. Particularly valuable in propagation environments where damping-off (Pythium, Fusarium) is a recurring problem, or in production programs managing Botrytis or Powdery Mildew where resistance to conventional fungicide chemistries is a concern.

Compatibility

Actinovate SP can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench. Active Ingredient: Streptomyces lydicus. Application rate varies by method - see product label for specific rates by crop and disease. REI: 4 hours. Signal Word: Caution. For organic production, confirm compatibility with your certifying organization. Avoid tank mixing with bactericides or products with antimicrobial properties that may reduce viability of the active organism. Always read and follow the product label before use.
