BioWorks Inc.
announced today that the Organic Materials Review Institute
(OMRI) has determined that the company's EPA registered
fungicide based on potassium bicarbonate MilStop Broad Spectrum
Foliar Fungicide is now ALLOWED for use in organic farming.
MilStop is a foliar-applied product that works well in an
integrated program with BioWorks' biofungicides PlantShield® HC
and RootShield® Granules, as well as all other commonly used
fungicides. MilStop was recently granted a 1-hour REI
(restricted entry interval) from the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and is now available in 5 pound and 25 pound
plastic buckets, providing greater convenience to growers.
MilStop is a very cost-effective product to cure and prevent
Powdery Mildew, as well as prevent many other foliar diseases.
Unlike other potassium bicarbonate products that may be on the
market, MilStop contains two proprietary wetting agents, so no
additional surfactants are needed - simply mix MilStop and
water, and spray!
BioWorks, Inc., a privately held company, provides
environmentally responsible, safe and cost-effective solutions
to the horticulture industry. |
