Foliar Applications of All Phase Strongly Inhibit Fusarium Root & Crown Rots

In a study published in the Journal of Microbial & Biochemical Technology a single foliar application of the active ingredient in All Phase was shown to strongly inhibit Fusarium root and crown rots in tomato plants.  Fusarium is very common in soils, as are infections.  Often infected plants still produce a decent yield and you might never realize your plants were infected.   Fusarium can also greatly diminish yields and outright kill plants.  The more you decrease the degree of infection the higher your yields.  Having healthy soil biology can certainly help to reduce Fusarium infections and the severity of such infections.  Think of foliar applications of All Phase as working with your soil biology.   Your soil microbes help to limit Fusarium growth within the soil while foliar applications of All Phase inhibit Fusarium growth within the plant without disrupting your beneficial soil microbes.   In the published study seedlings were given a foliar application prior to exposure to Fusarium and evaluated 60 days later.  They were found 70% healthier than non-treated plants.  Our recommendation is to foliar treat your seedlings with All Phase prior to transplanting and continuing with at least monthly applications.  If you’re making weekly applications to prevent powdery mildew you’re doing even better.   The active ingredient in All Phase has also been proven to inhibit the causal organisms of trunk diseases in grapes.  Since we know the active ingredient moves from foliage to roots, it makes sense that All Phase should inhibit trunk diseases too.
