I see both Oxidate and Zerotol use Peroxyacetic Acid at 2% and 5% respectively. Oxidate is approved for food and tobacco while Zerotol is not. Just so happens that I got plenty of Zerotol. Is Peroxyacetic Acid safe? I have a little PM on a couple plants (sprayed w greencure yesterday) and would like to drench new plants before innoculating as I have had little root rot (DWC) last run.

Yeah, it's safe, just be careful not to splash any in your eyes. It's best for sanitizing, especially water, if you're on a well. You can give a plant a spray down with it, just read and follow the label. Reliant is another good fungicide, just potassium and phosphorus electrolytes, but works great as a preventive spray or drench for fungal pathogens, better than the Zerotol lines. I think the drench is most effective, but it has a 4 week reapplication rate. 2 weeks for spray. Good luck!
