 Actinogreen is beneficial antifungal microbe that produces enzymes and antibiotics that exhibit strong antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi.
 It improves the color, growth, uniformity, nutrient uptake and turf quality.
Actinogreen is safe for repeated use and ideal for golf courses, home lawns, gardens, sports fields and landscapes. It is not harmful to humans, animals, fish, plants, or the environment.

Characteristics and Efficacy of Actinogreen®
 The efficacy of Actinogreen® has been confirmed through turfgrass field trials at many golf courses.
 Actinogreen® is applied with conventional spraying equipment. The application intervals were spaced at 7 to 14 days. The trials clearly indicate that Actinogreen improves turf quality and is highly effective in controlling the incidences of fungal diseases caused by Pythium species, Rhizoctonia solani, and Sclerotinia homoeocarpa.
 Actinogreen is an essential means in preventing the pathogens from developing resistance to chemical fungicies. It dramatically reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and chemical fungicies. the graphs on the following pages show the results of the field trials.

Actinogreen®,,The Environmentally Friendly Solution
 Lack of beneficial microbes can reduce stress tolerance and greater susceptibility to diseases. However, the beneficial microbes are often not present in adequate quantities in golf courses that have used chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
 Intensive use of chemical fungicides destroys the natural diversity of beneficial microbes which are an essential part of the ecosystem that supports healthy turf.
 Actinogreen, beneficial antifungal microbes, provides an environmentally friendly product for improving the turf quality. The beneficial antifungal microbes also protect turf by forming natural defenses against pathogenic fungi.

 Actinogreen is specially formulated with specific strains of Streptomyces species that quickly colonize the soil and roots, improving root development and deeper root growth, chlorophyll production, nutrient uptake, turf quality, and disease control.

 Actinogreen creates a biologically active antifungal barrier between turf and pathogens and antagonizes pathogens.

 Actinogreen enhances the natural system of beneficial microbial activity and pathogen resistance.

 The resulting microbial activities improve plant performance by faciliating the uptake of nutrients and water, while simultaneously aiding in disease control.
It can be used on all turfgrass areas, including golf course greens, tees, fairways, athletic fields, lawns, and sod farms. It can also be used on newly seeded turfgrass to improve seed germination and stand.

 The product comes in an easy-to-use liquid formulation which is mixed with water for spraying or injected into irrigation systems.

 Actinogreen is the ideal product for those seeking to significatly reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and chemical fungicides.

Actinogreen®,, The Microbial Vaccination For Turf In Disease Control.
 Actinogreen consists of specific strains of Streptomyces species producing genzymes and antibiotics that exhibit strong antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi. Streptomyces species are well known producers of beneficial enzymes and antibiotics that help protect against disease. Antibiotics and enzymes are essential tools in biocontrol.
 Each bottle of Actinogreen contains more than 108 colony forming units that quickly establish themselves in the rhizosphere and rhizoplane, protecting turf from invading pathogens.
 Actinogreen is an essential part in a comprehensive preventive maintenance program. It is easy to use and effective. Begin applications throughout the growing season, starting in early spring, to establish and replenish strong colonies of beneficial microorganisms, ending in late fall for warm, transitional and cool season turfgrasses.

 Continuous applications will dramatically reduce the need and quantity of chemical fungicides.

 Actinogreen is an effective means in preventing the pathogens from developing resistance to chemical fungicides. Alternate fungicide applications with Actinogreen during outbreaks to promote the colonization of beneficial microbes before the pathogens increase.

 To achieve the best results, Actinogreen should be applied prior to disease infestation. apply in conjunction with fertilization programs during the growing season.

 In areas where disease has already manifest, apply along with a standard fungicide program at 3 to 7 day intervals to improve turf quality.

Actinogreen®,, Improves Turf Quality
 Actinogreen, beneficial antifungal microbes, produces enzymes that rapidly decompose organic matter into nutrients.
 Actinogreen reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, Actinogreen increases root development and growth, and enhances turf quality.
 This is especially important for turf vigor during stressful conditions. Actinogreen's  beneficial microbes restore biological activity, which is fundamental to healthy an vigorous turfgrass.

 Actinogreen also produces antibiotics which antagonize pathogenic fungi. The beneficial antagonistic microbes replace and supplant pathogenic fungi resulting in reducing the need for synthetic chemicals.

 Actinogreen is safe, efficient, and practical to apply for turf and horticultural uses.


Actinogreen® , The Recommended Uses Green Application.
 Greens containing high sand mixtures and intensively managed with synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides are under severe stress and have inefficient nutrient recycles because of low microbial activities.

 The resulting greens suffer heavy soil compaction and black layers causing anaerobic condition.

 These cause poor turf quality and an environment that requires large inputs of fertilizer, chemicals and manpower to maintain turf quality.

 Actinogreen, beneficial antifungal microbes, offers a comprehensive alternative which works quickly to increase beneficial microbial activity, while stimulating root development, and producing healthy turf that resists stress and disease. enhanced root development and growth are essential for turf that consistently handles heavy wear and seasonal stress while maintaining overall plant health.
 Actinogreen helps turf grow thicker and greener and look good all season long.
 Apply 4 L of Actinogreen per 500 m2 of green turf area [ Apply at a one liter(quart) rate per 125 m2(1,250 ft2), beginning in early spring and continue at 7 to 14 day intercals throughout the growing season along with a standard fertility program.
 Mix 4 L ( 1 gal.) of Actinogreen per 200 to 400 L (50 to 100 gal.) of water. Spray foliage to point of runoff or drench the root zone to saturation.


Fairway Application.
 Intensive use of chemical pesticides destroys the microflora of bbeneficial microbes. Repeated use of chemical pesticides also induces strains of pathogens resistant to chemical pesticides. Actinogreen solves incidence of strains of pathogens resistant to chemical pesticides and provides microbial defence against pathogenic fungi.
 Actinogreen is a highly effective tool in any fertilization and disease control program.
 Begin applications in early spring when turf starts to emerge and grow.

 Apply at 4 liter rate per 1,000 m2 of fairway turf area every 1~3 weeks along with a standard fertility program. Mix 4 liter ( 1 gal.) of Actinogreen per 200 to 400 L ( 50 to 100 gal.) of water. Spray foliage to point of runoff or drench the root sone to saturation.

 Shorter intervals (7~14 days) are recommended during periods of turfgrass stress.

Thatch Control.
 The accumulation of thatch reduces air movement, prevents water from reaching the root zone, and harbors destructive pathogens, and increases the frequeny and severity of turfgrass disease.
 Applications of Actinogreen can increase beneficial microbial activities for better thatch control. Actinogreen produces effective enzymes which speed up biodegradation of the organic matter that makes up the thatch layer.
 By restoring the microbial activity involving by the thatch biodegradation, Actinogreen helps maintain a healthy stand of turf. Apply at a one liter (quart) rate per 250 m2(2500 ft2 ) of turf every 3~4 weeks throughout the growing season to dramatically improve your thatch control program.
