    It is really works

    By Maria on 06/27/2016

    I have a problem with ceder rust on my apple trees, bacterial leaf spot disease on my cherry and peach trees. My trees were severely affected! After first application all symptoms were stopped, but in two weeks symptoms have returned on remain foliage, so I had to make another application. In two more weeks all my trees showed up more new healthy growth and today, on the middle of summer, all my trees are absolutely healthy and, it seems, happy! I should use this product in early spring, and I'm definitely going to do it next year.

    Agri-fos for pansy and snapdragon rot

    By Larry on 12/18/2012

    Verified Purchase

    We plant a lot of pansies and snapdragons in the fall. Stem rot and root rot can be a problem at times, especially in overly wet soils caused by long stretches of rainy weather or if the sprinklers are over watering. Treatment with this systemic product has given us 100% positive results in a test treatment of 20 flats of annuals planted in several different soils and locations. It worked as both a preventative and a curative in some flowers that had disease prior to treatment. This stuff looks like a keeper.

    No opinion yet

    By Anonymous on 05/31/2013

    I am giving this product the benefit of doubt since I can't prove its performance yet. It will take a couple of months though when it gets really hot in the summer in Mississipp. My italian cypress trees have a fungus and I read where this product and Cleary 3336f will heal it. I am still waiting to see the results.

Q
What is the mix rate for Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide to treat root rot of indoor plants (Pelargoniums)

I bought this product from you to cure or control root rot in my Pelargoniums. There is no specific dosage listed for Pelargoniums, which are not real Geraniums. There IS a listing for REAL Geraniums under "bedding plants", but Monterey support told me to use the dosage found under "ornamentals". The dosage (for soil drench) is flaky. It says, 1/2 - 6 FLUID OUNCES per 1 - 5 GALLONS. in other words, I could use as much as 6 ounces per gallon or as little as 1/2 ounce per 5 gallons. At the high end, that's equivalent to 12 TABLESPOONS (36 TSP) per gallon. Whereas the soil drench for bedding plants is 1/8 tsp. I asked Monterey to clarify this, but they got upset at me! All I want to know is what is a SAFE and effective dosage for a soil drench for my indoor pelargoniums.

A

Unfortunately, typically once the plant is impacted or showing signs of root rot disease, there is no cure or remediation to save the plant. It is recommended to immediately discard infected plants after a positive diagnosis is made and then discard unwanted plants at the end of the season. Disinfect all gardening tools, prep surfaces, as well as gloves and washing your hands when handling soil, clippings or matter from the infested plant to prevent spreading. 

Regarding the use of Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide and since it is not labeled for this application treatment, the advised ornamental rate they provided would be the only thing to go by even though it is a broad range of 0.5 fl to 6 fl oz per 1 to 5 gallons. The low rate is most of the time for preventative applications and the higher rate is for high pest pressure.

Q
What is the rate for Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide on a 4 yr old Red Push suffering from Texas Root Rot? What application method for 4-yr old Chinese Red Push Pistache tree?

This was recommended by our arborist to treat Red Push trees suffering form Texas Root Rot. The tree is about 4 years old, still relatively small, and sits in soil covered in rock in about 4' x 4' space.

A

Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment once the infection is established; the best course of action is usually to remove the affected tree and prevent further spread by planting resistant varieties in the area, as the fungus is soil-borne and can infect other plants. 

While the Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide is not specifically labeled for Chinese Red Push Pistache trees, it does have labeling to control root rot on a variety of edible and ornamental plants and trees. In the tree section, it states to " Use 2 to 4 tsp. per gallon of water. Apply one gallon of solution per sq. yd. Follow application with irrigation. Application intervals: 14 to 21 days. Repeat as required"
