Root Shield, Another BioFungal

amideutch · December 5, 2008

As most of you know by my posts I use a Biofungicide called "Actinovate" from which I have had excellent results as a soil drench and a foliar as well. I came across another product the other day called "Root Schield". Where as Actinovate is made up of Streptomyces Lydicus spores Root Shield is made up of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai spores. Different animals but go about doing the job the same way. Most of what I have found on Root Shield been very favorable and I'm going to use it next year alongside Actinovate and compare the results. Here are a couple links to more information and sources for Root Shield. Ami
