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 ft 3 (1 m 3 ) of substrate before potting or at a dose of 0.02 ounces (0.5 grams) per 10.8 ft 2 (1 m 2 )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.
