COST EFFICIENCY (PER 100 POTS) ROOTSHIELD PLUS+ G
RETURN ON INVESTMENT DRIVERS
• RootShield PLUS+ G: ~$30
• Lower input costs than multi-product fungicide rotations
• Controls 1 & 2: $46–$54 per application without the risk of resistance

• Control 3, untreated: $0 input cost, but high • Near-elimination of disease-related losses (<1%)
downstream risk
• Improved root mass (445 g vs. 189–306 g in controls),
At $30 per 100 pots, RootShield PLUS+ G reduced direct supporting higher-quality, more marketable plants
disease management costs by ~35–45% versus the
standard fungicide rotations. With fewer plant losses, a • Reduced need for ongoing fungicide applications,
single application, and the ease of replacing six to eight lowering labor and application costs
products with a single biofungicide, RootShield PLUS+ G
offers a more cost-effective solution.

OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGE BOTTOM LINE

RootShield PLUS+ G is applied once at canning, eliminating RootShield PLUS+ G provides a lower-cost, higher-performance
the complexity, labor, and variability of multi-product spray alternative to traditional fungicide programs. By combining
rotations while delivering exceptional performance—even reduced input costs with dramatically improved plant survival
under high disease pressure. and quality, it represents a high-return, resistance free, risk-
reducing investment for nursery production.
