SoilGard Applications

Active Ingredient: Trichoderma virens (formerly called Gliocladium virens)

Rates: 1 to 1.5 lbs. per cubic yard of soil (see label)

Re-entry Interval: 0 hours

Days to Harvest: Not Applicable

Notes:

T. virens, the active ingredient in SoilGard is a naturally occurring soil fungus which is antagonistic to plant pathogenic fungi such as Pythium and Rhizoctonia, thereby aiding in control of these damping off and root rot pathogens. SoilGard acts as a preventative and will protect non infected plants. It may not, however, cure already infected plants. Where possible allow the treated soil or media to incubate for 1 day prior to planting to achieve the best results. Do not use other soil fungicides at the time of incorporation. Later addition of fungicides is acceptable but usually unnecessary.

For best results store in a cool dry place (preferably refrigerated).
