type of irrigation system. 

• Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform 

distribution of treated water. 

• If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, 

equipment manufacturers or other experts. 

• Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems)used for pesticide application to a 

public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in 

place.

supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments 

should the need arise. 

• Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human 

consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regular serves an average of at least 

25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 

• Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional,reduced-pressure 

zone, back flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream form the 

point of pesticide introduction As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be 

discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break 

(air gap)between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at 

least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.

the flow of fluid back toward the injection. 

• The pesticide injection pipeline must 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

pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable 

of being fitted with a system interlock.

Floor (basin), Furrow and Border Chemigation 

• Systems using a gravity flow pesticide dispensing system must meter the pesticide into the water at the 

head of the field and downstream of a hydraulic discontinuity such as a drop structure or weir box to 

decrease potential for water source contamination from back flow if water flow stops. 

• Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following 

requirements: 

• 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. 

• 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.

PRODUCT INFORMATION: T34 BIOCONTROL is a biofungicide that protects ornamental and carnation plants 

and increases their defenses against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. dianthi. The active ingredient is the beneficial 

fungus Trichoderma asperellum, strain T34. 

PRODUCT USE: T34 BIOCONTROL is a plant protector that contains conidia of the beneficial fungus 

Trichoderma asperellum, strain T34. Apply T34 BIOCONTROL during plant propagation (seedlings and cuttings) 

to obtain optimal effect. Throughout the culture, T34 BIOCONTROL must be applied in order to keep the proper 

level of fungus population, especially before critical situations and after plant stress during which plants might be 

weak. 

The utilization of T34 BIOCONTROL is recommended after a security period (7-10 days) of substrate sterilization, 

fumigation, solarization or biofumigation. 

T34 BIOCONTROL, preventively applied, protects plants from diseases, due to its capacity to colonize the 

growing media and the plant roots and because of its strong action against pathogenic microorganisms and the 

induction of plant resistance responses (ISR). 

T34 BIOCONTROL germinates and grows in a wide range of soils and substrates, and around the roots of many 

crops to which it facilitates the absorption of several nutrients. It develops in a variety of pHs (6-8) and soil 

temperatures 77-86°F (20-35oC), but its optimal growth temperature is 77-86°F (25-30oC). 

T34 BIOCONTROL has a suppressive effect on the soil-born pathogen Fusarium oxysporum, since it directly 

competes for space and/or nutrients and can parasitize the pathogenic fungus. 

T34 BIOCONTROL near plant roots builds a physical barrier against pathogens, induces systemic resistance 

(ISR) and increase the synthesis of plant defence proteins. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: GREENHOUSE POTTING MIX OR SOIL DRENCH: GREENHOUSE CARNATIONS 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

FOR USE ONLY AS AN AGRICULTURAL FUNGICIDE 

Crops: carnation plants, greenhouse 

Application and Dose: 

Dissolve the specific amount of T34 BIOCONTROL in a small amount of water and shake to obtain good product 

dispersion. Add this solution to the irrigation tank, with the total volume of water necessary to water the plants, 

stirring continuously to ensure a homogeneous application of the product. 

Apply T34 BIOCONTROL in the penultimate irrigation of the day, to ensure that no other residual product remains 

in the irrigation system. This will also minimize the wash-out risk and guarantee suitable diffusion in the substrate. 

Doses, number of treatments, and latest time of application: 

1. Spray of the growing media for propagation 

Apply T34 BIOCONTROL, spraying, at a dose of 0.35 ounces (10 grams) of T34 BIOCONTROL per 35 ft3

 (1 m3) 

of substrate before potting or at a dose of 0.02 ounces (0.5 grams) per 10.8 ft2

 (1 m2)of surface area immediately 

after sowing seeds or rooting cuttings. 

2. Root bath 

Before planting, we recommend dipping the roots of the carnation cuttings several hours or overnight in a solution 

of water with 0.0004 ounces or 0.002 teaspoons (0.01 grams) of T34 BIOCONTROL in 2.1 pints (1 L) of water. 

3. Irrigation of container-grown crops 

Apply the product by irrigation at 5 grams of T34 BIOCONTROL per 1000 pots of 2.1 pints (1L) at the planting 

day. 

Repeat the application one week later if plants were not treated during propagation with T34 BIOCONTROL, 

Apply 5 grams of T34 BIOCONTROL per 1000 pots of 2.1 pints (1L) every 2-3 months as follow-up treatment and 

also prior to a risk situation of after plants are stressed. 

Maximum total dose: 

The maximum concentration recommended for the dilution of T34 BIOCONTROL is 1.3 oz/gal (10 g/L) water. 

Compatibility: T34 BIOCONTROL should not be used mixed with other products. It is recommended to avoid 

treatments with chemical fungicides 10 days after or before the application of T34 BIOCONTROL, since T34 is 

incompatible with fungicides of broad spectrum and specific fungicides against ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. 
087301-00001.20110812.V1 T34 EPA Label – DRAFT 

The application of T34 BIOCONTROL is compatible with all liquid fertilizers and with the use of insecticides and 

acaricides and fungicides specific against oomycetes.
