Does GreenCure cure fusarium wilt and
verticillium fungus?
Yes GreenCure can kill fusarium and verticillium,
but it works best as a foliar spray.
Can GreenCure be applied to the
dirt?
We recommend using a beneficial fungi like
MycoBoost to help out compete bad fungus and help prevent both
fusarium and verticillium problems. Treating the dirt is usually
not very effective because you have no way of ensuring complete
coverage.

Will GreenCure prevent "damping-off" of
seedlings?
GreenCure can help with damping off disease.
Fusarium, Phytopthora, and Verticillium are the usual culprits, and
GreenCure can help to prevent Fusarium and Phytopthora
infestations. Spray the seedlings with the 1 tablespoon per gallon
mix.
Another option for improved seedling survival is to
use MycoBoost beneficial fungi. MycoBoost will crowd out the bad
fungi and help prevent damping off disease. You can use MycoBoost
as a seedling spray.

about MycoBoost
You can't use both GreenCure and MycoBoost at the
same time, since GreenCure is a fungicide, it will kill the
MycoBoost also, but you can apply MycoBoost to your seedlings as a
tea a few weeks later.

trees?
Yes, GreenCure can be used on Orange trees and all
cirtrus trees including Grapefruit, Lime, Lemon and the many Orange

(spreader/sticker) or oils to GreenCure?
NO. The formula in GreenCure already contains just
the right amount of surfactants in order to maximize the benefits
of the potassium bicarbonate.

ponds?
Yes, GreenCure is safe for use around fish ponds.
There is no toxicity to fish, thus it is safe to use GreenCure on
plants around ponds and lakes containing fish.

How to Use GreenCure®
GreenCure® is applied with spray equipment using a
sufficient volume of water to insure complete coverage of all stems
and foliage.
Mixing Instructions: Dilute GreenCure®
with water before applying. Carefully measure and mix the stated
amounts of product and water. Do not use more than the stated
amounts.
GreenCure® is packaged in an 8oz., convenient to use,
wide-mouth plastic jar. We include a scoop that has both a 1
tablespoon measurement (1 tablespoon to the gallon) and a 1/4
teaspoon measurement (3 1/4 teaspoons to 32 oz. of water). The
little scoop is convenient to use because it fits in the opening of
a small spray bottle.
One gallon of this solution is sufficient to treat approximately
450 square feet. Apply the solution to all exposed surfaces of the
plant. Use a sufficient spray volume to obtain complete coverage of
all foliage and stems. Uniform and complete coverage is essential
for the most effective results.
NOTE: If you are using one of our hose-end
sprayers to treat large areas, add 3.75 oz for plant disease
prevention and 7.5 oz for disease control to the empty hose-end
sprayer. Fill with water to mix. Spray as noted above to completely
cover all foliage and stems.
Plant Disease Prevention: GreenCure® can
be used as a good preventative control of powdery mildews by
applying 1 tablespoon per gallon of water every 1 to 2 weeks when
environmental conditions are ideal for the disease. Preventing an
infestation by using GreenCure® will help you maintain
healthy, vibrant plants.
Disease Control: In cases of moderate to severe
infestation GreenCure® can be used to eradicate plant disease
by spraying plants completely with a mixture of up to 2 tablespoons
of GreenCure® per gallon of water weekly for 3 weeks followed
by the preventative program thereafter. GreenCure® kills mold
/ mildew spores within seconds of contact by causing an immediate
dehydration of the spores and destruction of the cell walls. Many
of the deceased spores will slough off or be washed away with the
next rain or watering. In most instances, leaves can recover,
however as with any wound, scars and discoloration can remain. If
you prune infected leaves, stalks or branches, they should be
disposed of in the trash, because composting will not kill the mold
spores.
Application Timing: Start application at first
sign of disease. For best protection, repeat at one to two week
intervals until conditions are no longer favorable for disease
development. Spray more often during rainy weather or during
periods of high relative humidity. For appropriate crops,
GreenCure® may also be applied post-harvest to remaining
foliage to decrease overwintering inoculum.
