What is Actinovate L&G?

Actinovate L&G contains Streptomyces lydicus, a naturally occurring soil bacterium that works as a biological fungicide. This beneficial microorganism establishes itself on the roots and leaves of plants, where it prevents harmful fungi from taking hold. It works by suppressing pathogens that cause common plant diseases, offering a highly effective, organic solution for disease prevention and control.

• Organic Fungicide: Actinovate L&G is OMRI-listed, meaning it meets the strict standards for organic gardening. This makes it a great choice for organic gardeners who want to protect their plants without resorting to harsh chemical treatments.
• Versatile Application: It can be used on a wide variety of plants, including lawns, ornamentals, fruits, vegetables, and herbs, making it a highly versatile tool in your gardening toolkit.
• Safe for Pets and People: Since it's made from natural, beneficial bacteria, Actinovate L&G is safe to use around pets, people, and beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs, making it a responsible choice for eco-conscious gardeners.

How Does Actinovate L&G Work?

The active ingredient in Actinovate L&G, Streptomyces lydicus, establishes itself on the plant’s roots and leaves, forming a protective barrier against harmful pathogens. This beneficial bacterium produces enzymes and secondary metabolites that inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungi, helping to keep plants healthy and disease-free.

• Root-to-Leaf Protection: Actinovate works from the ground up, providing comprehensive protection for plants. By colonizing the root zone and foliage, it helps guard against soil-borne and foliar diseases, including root rot, powdery mildew, and more.
• Natural Defense Mechanism: As a biological fungicide, Actinovate doesn't kill harmful fungi directly. Instead, it prevents them from establishing on the plant by outcompeting them and producing natural compounds that inhibit their growth. This means your plants stay healthy without the need for harsh chemicals.

Where to Use Actinovate L&G
