While recording our Johnson’s Garden Time show recently, Jeremy and I were going over fungi controls. As usual, I got the segment started and pitched it to Jeremy. He mentioned that ferti-lome has a new fungicide, Fungicide 5. He told me that it’s a biological fungus control containing Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. It can be used on vegetables, fruit, nut, and ornamental trees, shrubs, flowering plants, houseplants and tropical plants. It’s made to control many diseases, such as anthracnose, leaf blights, black spot of roses, downy mildew, fruit rot, powdery mildew, scab and more. He went on to explain that the fungicide colonizes plant roots, putting it in a prime position to outcompete pathogens for growth on the plant. These beneficial bacteria fertilize the plant by providing nutrients that are in short supply and produce chemicals that induce plant growth. What an innovative way to control damaging fungi! May be used up until the day of harvest. Concentrated formula. 16 oz. bottle.
