BioWorks Inc. is
pleased to announce their newest product, RootShield® WP. On
August 15, 2008 the company received EPA registration on the
product, which is a new and improved formulation of their
current biological fungicide, PlantShield® HC.
With this new wettable powder formulation, RootShield WP will
not clog drip emitters, drip tape or irrigation booms.
RootShield WP provides preventative control of major root
diseases including Pythium, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia Thielaviopsis
and Cylindrocladium by growing on roots, protecting them against
damaging fungi. RootShield WP is registered for indoor and
outdoor root disease control on greenhouse and outdoor
ornamentals, herbs, and vegetables, and has a 0-hour Restricted
Entry Interval (REI), the lowest REI of all biological
fungicides.
“We are very pleased to have this improved wettable powder
formulation EPA approved,” commented John Francis, Director of
Marketing and Technical Services of BioWorks. “Having a more
effective way to deliver RootShield to plants helps us meet our
customer needs, making it even easier for them to use,” he
added.
BioWorks expects to be able to sell RootShield WP in approved
states in October, 2008.
BioWorks, Inc., a privately held company, provides
environmentally responsible, safe and cost-effective solutions
