Can you tank mix actinovate, serenade, greencure?

Just what the title says... Are they tank compatible?

I'm thinking it would be best to spray them in rotation instead but I can only go to my spots so often

serenade is a strain of bactillus subtillus and should be compatible with activonate although they might compete against each other.

greencure is uses a different mode of action and basically kills microbiology so you don't want to mix that.

Ideally you should have a strategy based on mode of action and life cycle of pathogens and the beneficial you are using to combat them

You mean to mix all those together in the same tank at the same time? I would think the high pH of the Green Cure would kill off the good beneficials in the Actinovate and Serenade. If you are set on mixing things together then I would just do the Actinovate and Serenade. If you haven't purchased them yet then I would try using just Actinovate and save yourself some money :yes:

Yup the ph, and competitive issue was what I didn't know about and I don't own a nice enough microscope to test/check it...

potassium bicarbonate aside, I'm not sure if the bennies will just fight...

oh well multiple visits it is

microscope would verify but I was told that one of the products in the veganics line by kushman needs to be made and used right away or the bactillus subtillus out competes the rest.

You also have no way to gauge effectiveness until you see detriment in which case your have to go into reactive mode.

Let me make it easy for you.

Water in the activonate and apply greencure to clean the leaf surfaces. It is caustic and will burn hairs if you go too strong. A few days later apply serenade.

no mix no mingle and simple activation

Sorry to hijack thread:

Weird - Why do you water in activonate as apose to foliar spray? I was told it acts as a systemic attack, and helps fight powdery mildew.....BS or real deal?

I actually just purchased a new product called Forge. Same deal as Activonate, but different strain.

It protects the rhizosphere as per manufacturer and if it is systemic then the whole plant will benefit nonetheless.

The green cure will clean the surface area of the plant above the soil while he inoculates the rhizosphere simultaneously, then the bactillus subtillius in the serenade can be applied to the surface area of the plant for the same benefit that activonate was fulfilling.

The surface area above the soil and the root surfaces under the soil are the doorways into plant tissues, each level needs to be addressed. Based on what he has on hand if he like to use them all to maximum benefit and minimal application it seems the best way to accomplish both.
