Actinovate® AG Biofungicide (Streptomyces Lydicus)

Key Product Highlights

• Dual Root & Foliar Protection: Works as both a root zone drench against soilborne pathogens and a foliar spray against leaf-surface fungal diseases.
• Broad-Spectrum Pathogen Suppression: Controls major root-rot fungi and foliar diseases including Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Phytophthora, Verticillium, Powdery Mildew, and Downy Mildew.
• Synergistic Root Growth: Produces plant growth-promoting enzymes and siderophores that increase nutrient availability and root mass.
• Zero Pathogen Resistance: Its complex biological mode of action prevents fungal pathogen resistance from developing over long-term use.
• Safe & Residue-Free: A 0-day PHI allows application up to the day of harvest without synthetic residue concerns.

Target Diseases & Crop Compatibility

Target Diseases: Damping off, root rot, crown rot, wilt, Powdery Mildew, Downy Mildew, and Botrytis.

Target Crops: Suitable for virtually all commercial crops, including vegetables, herbs, fruiting plants, berries, ornamentals, turf, and indoor living soil grows.

Suggested Application

Actinovate AG can be applied as a foliar spray, soil drench, in-furrow application, cutting dip, or seed treatment.

• Application Volume: Mix with 10-150 gallons of water per acre based on canopy density and equipment setup. Maintain mild agitation during mixing.
• Water Quality Caution: Avoid mixing with chlorinated water or hydrogen peroxide products, as these can reduce microbial viability.
• Timing & Frequency: Apply preventatively or at the earliest signs of disease pressure. Maintain regular application intervals during high disease conditions.
• Living Soil Integration: Pair with biology-rich media like KIS Commercial Growers Mix and monitor root hydration with Blumat Digital Moisture Meters.
