GENERAL INFORMATION:
TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide (Trichoderma harzianum) is a biofungicide for the suppression of post-emergence damping off and root rot (Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum), fusarium root rot and crown rot (Fusarium oxysporum) and cavity spot (Pythium violae) on greenhouse lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers, greenhouse ornamentals, and in field lettuce and carrots and ginseng. The active ingredient is a beneficial microbe Trichoderma harzianum strain T-22.
When applied to transplants, greenhouse planting mix or soil, TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide actively grows onto plant roots as they develop and protect roots against Pythium ultimum, Pythium violae, Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani. TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide also reduces the symptoms of dollar spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) and microdochium patch (Microdochium nivale) in turf. It can be applied by drench application to the growing medium or by spray at sowing. TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide can be used alone or in conjunction with certain chemical fungicides.
TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide protects plants against infection by soil-borne pathogens via the root system. TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide performs well under various environmental conditions. It grows under a wide temperature range (10º-34ºC), at a pH between 4-8, in many types of growing media, and on the roots of a wide range of plants.
For control of seed rot and damping off of internally infected cuttings, use chemical fungicides or other appropriate measures in addition to TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide.
Note: TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide contains live spores of a beneficial microbe. TRIANUM P
Biological Fungicide becomes active when soil temperatures are above 10oC. Disease suppression is not effective while soils remain cold and is more effective in neutral or acidic soils than in alkaline soils.
Disease suppression: The beneficial fungus Trichoderma harzianum T-22 out competes plant pathogenic fungi for space and nutrients, colonizing the plant roots ahead of the pathogens. It acts as a mycoparasite by producing enzymes which break down the hyphae of the plant pathogenic fungi.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For use on:
Greenhouse Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumbers and ornamentals
Outdoor: Turf, Lettuce, Carrots and Ginseng
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
DO NOT allow effluent or runoff from greenhouses containing this product to enter lakes, streams, ponds or other waters.

PREPARATION OF SUSPENSION
Suspend 1 volume of TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide in 5 volumes of water.
Mix thoroughly.
Add suspension to required amount of water to obtain final drench volume (see below).
Agitate continuously to maintain an even distribution of TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide spores, as they can precipitate out.
Apply the suspension on the day of preparation.

APPLICATION AND DOSE
TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide should be used preventatively. For the best results, always use TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide from propagation onwards, before occurrence of disease.
Use sufficient suspension to guarantee good penetration of the growing medium, but to maximize spore attachment to the plant roots, avoid run-off and excessive drainage for the first two days following application.
TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide is not a systemic product, and is therefore not taken up by the roots.
Specific Directions for Ornamentals: The large number of existing ornamental species and their varieties and cultivars coupled with the constant introduction of new varieties makes it impossible to field test TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide in every locale where it is sold or in all the combinations of location and plant varieties. To ensure that TRIANUM P Biological Fungicide is compatible with the ornamental plant variety or cultivar under your specific conditions, test on a limited scale and observe for phytotoxicity or other unintended side effects for two weeks before making large scale applications.

COMPATIBILITY
In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Koppert Canada Limited at 1-800-567-4195 for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by Koppert Canada Limited.
