Stop pest pressure at the root zone—this soil drench dehydrates fungus gnats and larvae on contact and attacks fungus and algae to keep media clean and productive.

Stop Root Aphids, Thrips & Root Rot in Soil, Coco & Hydro

By disrupting feeding and reproduction, it minimizes egg hatch, reduces root rot (including Pythium risk), and preserves beneficial activity so seedlings and potted plants can root strong in soil, coco, and container gardens.

How To Apply:

• Prevention & Maintenance – In general, applications for prevention and maintenance should be done on a 30-45 day schedule. However, environmental conditions (temperatures, rainfall amounts) and insect pressure can affect this schedule. Reapply after heavy rains.
• Drenches – Apply into the plant's root zone and irrigate so that the material moves throughout the zone where the pests are located. To treat an active problem, apply twice within 7-10 days to ensure you break the egg cycle. For best results, use the drench and soak method.
• Post-Application Rinse – To revive your soil/media to its natural state, rinse 15 minutes after application. Pour water into the media and flush thoroughly to rinse all the dead pests and pathogens away from your media. Reapply nutrients or beneficials after flushing is complete.

Application Precautions: Do not use with other products. Root Cleaner is harmful to nematodes. While this is desirous when dealing with plant-parasitic nematodes, it can be a problem if you use beneficial nematodes. It is best to refrain from using beneficial nematodes when applying Root Cleaner or apply them alternately. Additionally, if you use beneficial microbes, you will need to re-inoculate after each Root Cleaner use. Do not leave in hydroponic reservoirs.

Environment: Can be used in indoor and outdoor growing, gardening, farming, wineries, landscaping, horticulture, hydroponics and many other capacities.

Storage: Store only in original container in a cool, dry place inaccessible to children and pets. Do not reuse empty container.
