Many growers around the country have used RootShield for prolonged root disease control.  A large percentage of these growers have been working with BioWorks since last century when RootShield^® Biological Fungicide was introduced. Early adopters added RootShield® Granules to their media; current growers now have the advantage of using our new, water-soluble wettable powder, RootShield® WP. Both formulations supply the roots with an overwhelming amount of the beneficial fungus found in RootShield. Both safely protect the roots for 10 to 12 weeks without harm to the plant, the grower or the environment.  RootShield does this by covering up the roots and "shielding them" from many root rots; ultimately "eating" the root rots before they harm your roots.

Rounding Out Your Poinsettia Program

In the last few years BioWorks has been honored to offer growers additional biological & biorational products that safely and effectively "eat, dry or suffocate" insects and foliar diseases affecting poinsettia crops. Growers now have the option of using a beneficial fungus (BotaniGard® ES & BotaniGard® 22WP) that "eats" insects, especially whiteflies that attack poinsettias; CEASE® a beneficial bacteria that "attacks" leaf spots caused by foliar bacteria and fungi; and beneficial nematodes that "eat" fungus gnat larvae attempting to attack the young roots of poinsettia liners.  In addition, BioWorks has some biorationals that "dry" & "choke" insects and foliar diseases. MilStop® is a bicarbonate-based food grade formulation that dries up foliar diseases like Botrytis and the mildew brothers, Powdery & Downy. SuffOil-X™ is our newest product that suffocates insects, mites, and foliar diseases on contact.
