You wouldn't dream of not having home insurance to protect against fire damage or liability insurance in case someone got injured on your property. You've paid your premium so when something does happen, you know your loss is limited to the size of your deductible. That is the limit of your exposure to risk and loss.
 
What are you doing to insure your crops against root disease? Essentially, what's your crop worth to you? You might pay a premium to protect your crop if you stopped to add up all you have invested in it - plants, pots, soil, labor, and the energy costs of growing. It amounts to 60-70% of the selling price. What would you pay to protect your projected sales revenues? How much of that would you be willing to lose to root disease when you apply curative products after the disease is already damaging the crop? Once you have a root disease outbreak, it's too late to insure against it. Then it is a matter of suffering losses and salvaging the crop. You can't afford to be uninsured, there is too much at stake. Taking preventative measures will take the worry out of your growing season. 
 
Insurance or Damage Control?
RootShield® is a treatment for healthy roots to insure them for 10-12 weeks against disease outbreaks when pathogens and favorable environmental conditions put them at risk. Under severe disease pressure you may still suffer some loss, but it won't be nearly as bad as having no protection at all. If you've paid your premium (< $0.02 per 6" pot) by using RootShield, the deductible of some cost of curative products (many compatible with RootShield) will be small compared to the potential costs of treatment if you had no root disease protection.
 
Are you feeling lucky?

The moisture and temperature extremes of summer growing put many crops at risk for losses from root disease. Mums, pansies and perennials all have to endure Mother Nature in outdoor production settings where temperature and rainfall are uncontrollable. They could all use RootShield to protect roots and insure them against disease

outbreaks.                                                

                                                                    
RootShield is very cost effective root disease insurance on poinsettias which can suffer the whole gambit of environmental stresses in the greenhouse from June to December. This crop starts hot and bright in early summer and ends cool and dark in late fall, exposing it to many disease pressure opportunities as the crop matures and conditions change. 
 
With the use of RootShield your crop will be insured against losses from root disease, and any deductible you pay will be small. Take the next step, protect your plants and guarantee yourself a lot of saved money, grief, and setback.
