General Information: Actinovate® SP is a biological fungicide for the suppression/control of root rot and damping-off fungi and the suppression/control of foliar fungal pathogens. Soil borne fungi controlled include Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Phytophthora, Phytomatotricum, Aphanomyces, Monosporascus, Armillaria, Sclerotinia, Postia, Verticillium, Geotrichum, and other root-decay fungi. The active ingredient in Actinovate® SP colonizes the root system and protects it from harmful fungi. Actinovate® SP effectively suppresses/controls foliar diseases such as Powdery and Downy Mildew, Greasy Spot, Botrytis. Sclerotinia, Alternaria, and others. When applied to the soil Actinovate® SP also breaks down minerals and micronutrients making them more available to plants resulting in increased size and vitality. Plants and lawns treated with Actinovate® SP as a soil drench will become hardier, more vigorous and have a robust and protected root system. APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: Compatibility Actinovate® SP is completely soluble and does not require agitation to keep suspended in a solution. Actinovate® SP is compatible with chemical fungicides, insecticides and fertilizers. If tank mixes are desired, observe all directions, precautions and limitations on labeling of all products used. Actinovate® SP can be tank mixed with all chemical fungicides, insecticides, and fertilizers unless otherwise restricted. Avoid tank mixing with bactericides. Avoid applying bactericides and soil fumigants to the areas treated with Actinovate® SP. Consult manufacturer for compatibility questions. Application Timing Apply Actinovate® SP throughout the growing season from early spring to late fall on all types of turf, ornamental, and vegetable crops (greenhouse use only for vegetable crops). Application Uses: Actinovate® SP is a biological fungicide for use in soil and seed coating applications (drench and in furrow) and greenhouse foliar applications in or on all raw agricultural commodities, food and fiber crops (greenhouse use only), ornamentals, landscape plants, including tree seedlings for transplanting to the field. GREENHOUSE, NURSERY OR INTERIORSCAPE DRENCH Mix 4-6 oz. of Actinovate® SP in 100 gallons of water to create solution. Apply solution as a drench to plants/growing media at a rate of 1 gallon per cubic foot of growing media (this equates to enough solution to saturate soil without creating run-off). For smaller quantities: Use 1 teaspoon of Actinovate SP per 2 gallons of water to create solution and apply as above. Actinovate® SP can be applied through low pressure watering nozzles such as fan nozzles, through overhead boom type sprayers or sprinklers, hydroponics systems, injectors, flood benches or other drench watering systems. Actinovate® SP is compatible with chemical fungicides, insecticides, and fertilizers as well as other biological products. GREENHOUSE FOLIAR SPRAYS For preventative suppression/control of powdery mildew, downy mildew, Botrytis, Greasy Spot, Sclerotinia, and Alternaria and other foliar diseases on indoor greenhouse crops. Apply 6-12 oz Actinovate® SP per acre. Dissolve Actinovate® SP in 50-100 gallons of water and apply to foliage and blossoms every 7 to 14 days depending on disease pressure. Crop size, spray equipment and local practice will determine the volume of water needed. Spray to wet, but avoid run-off. Actinovate® SP can be applied using hand-held backpack or ground spray equipment. Clean application equipment before use of this product, and use prepared sprays within 4 hours of preparation. For best results use a non-ionic spreader-sticker in conjunction with application. Consult manufacturer or sales representative for specific product recommendations. For best results set spray equipment at 50 PSI or less. Cutting or Bare Rooted Transplant Dip: Dip cuttings or transplants in Actinovate® SP dry powder or in a solution of 18-oz Actinovate® SP and 5 gallons water. For larger trees or woody ornamental, dissolve 18-oz of Actinovate® SP in 50 gallons of water and let bare root plants soak in the solution for 4-12 hours prior to planting. Plant treated cuttings or transplants in potting mix or soil in the usual manner. Ornamental Bulb Crops: Soak bulbs in solution of Actinovate® SP at 6 -18 oz per 100 lbs. of bulbs. Thoroughly cover all surfaces of bulbs with solution for 1 hour prior to planting). Seed Coating In a slurry or as a spray use 6 -18 oz of Actinovate SP in 0.5-2.0 pints of water to treat 100 lbs of seed. TURF GRASS: Mix Actinovate® SP with appropriate amount of water (100-125 gallons per acre). Apply at a rate of 52-oz of Actinovate® SP per acre for initial application or problem areas. Apply maintenance applications of 18 oz. per acre every 6 to 8 weeks. For smaller application areas: For initial application or problem area use 3 heaping tablespoons of Actinovate dissolved in 5 gallons of water to create a solution. Apply solution to soil at a rate of 5 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. of turf grass. Reapply every 6-8 weeks as a maintenance application. Use 1 heaping tablespoon of Actinovate® SP dissolved in 5 gallons of water to create a solution. Apply solution to soil at a rate of 5 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. of turf. LANDSCAPE For Transplants, Installations and Established Plants: Dissolve 1 teaspoon per 2 gallons of water to create a solution. Apply solution to soil around plant's root system until soil is saturated without creating a run-off. Apply to plant before, during or after transplant. GREENHOUSE CHEMIGATION Apply Actinovate® SP at 4-6 oz per 100 gallons of water. Actinovate® SP may be applied through 1) overhead boom and mist-type systems, sprinklers such as impact or micro-sprinklers 2) pressurized drench (flood) or drip (trickle) systems 3) micro irrigation such as spaghetti-tube or individual tube irrigation, 3) hand-held calibrated irrigation equipment such as hand-held wand with injector and 5) ebb and flow systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Plant injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. Questions concerning calibration should be directed to your State Extension Service Specialist, the equipment manufacturer or other expert. Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low- pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation or under the supervision of a responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick- closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. If you have any questions regarding calibrations, contact equipment manufacturers, state extension specialists or other experts.
