Mycostop

A biofungicide for vegetable & ornamental crops grown in greenhouses. For control of Fusarium, damping-off, root rot and Phomopsis. A product that has shown suppression of Botrytis gray mold, Pythium and Phytophthora root rot in the greenhouse. Mycostop is formulated as a wettable powder. It contains living spores and mycelium of a selected strain of naturally occurring Streptomyces soil bacterium. The microbe deprives pathogen fungi of living space and nourishment by colonizing plant roots in advance of them.

Research has proven that Mycostop has a growth stimulating effect on most host plants. Yield increases of 5%- 15% have been shown in most studies - even in healthy plants! Application should begin at the time of seeding and should be repeated every 3 - 6 weeks. Apply at a rate of 5 grams per 540 sq/ft of "root area". (This is approximately 5 grams per 1,000 tomato plants).

Mycostop can be stored in the freezer in an air tight container for up to 1 year. Air tight container can be
a "Zip-Loc" bag with as much of the air removed as possible. There will be an expiration date on the package.

FUNGASTOP

DESCRIPTION:

FUNGASTOP is a potent and effective alternative to synthetic agro-industrial chemicals. FUNGASTOP contains a naturally-derived ingredient which has been scientifically proven to act as a broad spectrum antifungal and antibacterial compound.

The active biochemical in FUNGASTOP is currently used in international markets as a sanitizing and disinfecting agent and preservative in food and cosmetics. It is classified as non-toxic and is not a primary skin irritant or a corrosive material.

HOW IT WORKS

The mode of action of FUNGASTOP upon selected pathogenic organisms is the alteration of the cell membrane and inhibition of cellular respiration. The product possesses a great ability to inhibit fungal growth at reasonable application rates.

This product is active against a broad spectrum of species of the following fungi and bacteria genera:

Fungi

Albugo
Alternaria
Aspergillus
Botrytis
Bremia

BOTANIGARD® 22WP

     Wettable Powder Mycoinsecticide for Control of Whitefly, Aphids, Thrips, Psyllids, Weevils, and Mealybugs in Ornamentals and Vegetables, Indoor/Outdoor Nurseries, Greenhouses, Shade houses, Commercial Landscape/Interiorscape, and Turf
     BotaniGard 22WP contains live spores of the naturally occurring fungus, Beauveria bassiana. Spores are alive and may be harmed by storage at high temperatures or contact with water for more than 24 hours. See storage instructions on this label.
     BotaniGard 22WP acts by contact. Spores must attach to the target insect for this product to be effective. Thorough spray coverage is essential. Spores may attach to insects either by direct contact from spray or from contact with sprayed foliage or soil. Spores on the insect germinate, and penetrate through the insect cuticle. The fungus then grows rapidly within the insect, causing mortality.
     BotaniGard 22WP works best in a pest management program designed to keep insect populations below levels which damage crops. Typically, it takes 3-7 days for an infected insect to die and 7-10 days after the first spray to see a reduction in an insect population. Application rates, spray frequency, spray coverage and insect numbers affect the speed at which insect populations are reduced.
     Frequent scouting for insects in crops is recommended. BotaniGard 22WP is most effective when used at the first appearance of insects in the crop, before high insect populations develop.
     BotaniGard 22WP may be combined with chemical insecticides for rapid knockdown of damaging insect populations or large numbers of insects moving into crops.
      Pre-harvest interval for BotaniGard 22WP is zero (0) days. BotaniGard 22WP can be applied up to and including the day of harvest.
     BotaniGard 22WP may be applied using hand-held, and/or ground spray equipment; also by low-volume application equipment.

TRAPS AND INDICATORS


For use with beneficial insects as an indicator of potential pest problems. Recommended for trapping insects that are attracted to the color yellow. Some insects attracted to this color yellow are Flying Aphids, Fungus Gnats, Whiteflies, Leafminers, and Carrot Rust Flies. The Stiky Cards are bright yellow plastic sheets, coated on two sides with a specially formulated sticky goo. Peel off the protective covering, hang them or stake them in place, and they'll catch insects until they are covered.

Studies have shown that at a trap density of 10 per 180 tomato plants 
( approx. 1 per  70 ft 2 ) the population of Greenhouse Whitefly adults did not exceed 0.1 per plant. Dept of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser Univ. Burnaby B.C. Canada:

Yellow Silky Traps: Adult GHWF/SLWF are attracted to the color YELLOW. GHWF/SLWF prefer to feed on the tender, new growth of plants. Placing YELLOW STIKY CARDS (near the new growth level of your plants) every 50 - 70 ft2 throughout the area, can trap a large number of egg laying adults. Each female GHWF/SLWF trapped can represent a considerable reduction in the number of eggs laid on your plants. These yellow traps also attract and trap flying aphids, fungus gnats, leafminers, thrips and many other insects.

FLY-BARR INSECT BARRIER


Through extensive research and development a revolutionary insect barrier is now available from Hydro-Gardens to be used over cooling pads*, vents and shutters. This new insect barrier has been tested in several large operations in the Middle East with excellent results in maintaining a more insect free environment. This is a long-life plastic filter, approximately 3/8" thick, with a net backing and an average resistance to air flow of less than 0.1 W.G. static pressure at 1250 cfm or below. This is an ASHRAE tested material using a synthetic dust of 7-8 micron size at 250 fpm velocity. The arrestance is approximately 80% of the ASHRAE Synthetic Dust when the material is dry. Insects similar to and including Whitefly, cannot penetrate this barrier. This is a U.L. Class II Listed material.

With the current and planned regulations on pesticide usage, 
you can't afford to be without "FLY-BARR" INSECT BARRIER.

Easy to install: Insect Barrier can be attached to your structure using a variety of methods such as; wood lath or poly batten tape, or securing with most high quality poly locking devices. If you wish to join sections of Insect Barrier, the material can be easily overlapped and sewn together with monofilament line.

IMPORTANT: Insect Barrier should always be installed in the air flow such that the fiber filter is always forced toward the support netting!

* Do Not apply directly to cooling pads. Wetting this material will
increase static pressure and reduce air flow.

Maintenance: Washes with soap and water, or can be vacuumed.
(Note: high pressure washing is not recommended; this will loosen the bond between the fiber and the support netting.)
