Actino-Iron® Biological Fungicide


unique soil additive for preventative suppression/control of root rot and damping off fungi such as Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Phytophthora, Fusarium and many others. The active ingredient in Actino-Iron®, Streptomyces lydicus strain WYEC 108, is a naturally occurring beneficial soil bacterium. When applied to the soil it grows around the root system of plants, protecting them from harmful soil pathogens. While in the root system this unique microbe also produces powerful antifungal by-products that are highly destructive to disease causing fungi. Additionally, this microbe will act as a predator and attack certain fungi, disabling them in the process. Its root colonization ability, antifungal by-products production and predatory action make Actino-Iron® a powerful weapon in pest management.

Actino-Iron®, however, is much more than a fungicide. Actino-Iron® contains slow release iron that provides long lasting greening to your plants without fear of burning (even the most iron sensitive varieties). In addition the humic acid in Actino-Iron® is used as a food source by the microbe and works in conjunction with it in in producing robust, healthy roots and vigorous plant top growth.

Disease suppression, long-term greening, robust root growth, larger plants and increased production: You can't afford to plant without Actino-Iron®!
