Pythium Root Rot Can Be Devastating

Pythium Root Rot is a very common plant disease caused by fungal-like Pythium species, often referred to as water molds.  Pythium Root Rot can cause crippling economic losses to young seedlings and vegetable crops such as tomato, pepper, and cucumber, both in the field and particularly in greenhouse hydroponic systems where devastating root rot can spread to entire operations within two to four days due to continuous plant root exposure to flowing water in which Pythium organisms freely move.

TerraClean: Soil Treatment for Effective Pythium Control!

TerraClean is a soil-based fungicide that provides effective Pythium control because it treats the plant root zone where Pythium organisms attack and reside.

TerraClean’s revolutionary scientific formula contains high concentrations of organic acids that penetrate soil to react with and destroy several common disease pathogens in the root zone, including:

  • Pythium
  • Phytophthora
  • Verticillium
  • Rhizoctonia
  • Fusarium
  • Thielaviopsis

TerraClean is unique because it releases large quantities of oxygen into the root zone as it reacts with disease pathogens, increasing plant nutrient intake, and stimulating root development and plant growth!

TerraClean is EPA-certified as an environmentally safe and biodegradable product, has a Zero Hour REI, and can be applied any time from seed to harvest.
