RootShield Biological Granular Fungicide
RootShield Granules is an OMRI listed biological fungicide for root disease control. It grows on roots "shielding" them against root damaging fungi. It can be used for media incorporation - nursery, greenhouse, and vegetables. RootShield releases enzymes that dissolve the cell wall of many fungal pathogens, and promotes a healthier root system increasing root mass potential. One application provides up to 12 weeks of protection.
