Can you use Rootshield and Actinovate at the same time?

**mdvpc** · July 7, 2011

Anyone know if you can use Rootshield and Actinovate together? The plant pathologist I sent samples of my diseased plants to cultured out Pythium spp primarily. So I am going to try these two products, want to know if I should apply them together, or one at a time?

Michael, see no problem as I have been using Actinovate with Biota Max and Mycogrow Soluable. Both have Trichoderma harzianum which is the major player in Rootshield and Mycogrow also has Streptomyces lydicus which is the prime for Actinovate. Or you can shoot Boomer an e-mail at Natural Industies and ask him the question. As he hasn't posted here in a while need to see if he is alive and kickin.

Also here is a link explaing a little more about Biologicals.

I talked with Louie at Natural Industries-Boomer was out. Louie told me no problem to use Root-Shield and Actinovate at the same time-putting them out together. And suggested following up with foliar of Actinovate at intervals. He also told me not to dismiss using Actino-Iron (which is a granular you mix with the potting soil)-he says he has tomato and pumpkin growers that are getting huge fruit with Actino-Iron.
