Scotts Banrot 40 WP 2 lb Bag – Broad Spectrum Fungicide for Ornamentals

Overview

Scotts Banrot 40 WP is a broad spectrum soil fungicide formulated as a 40% wettable powder. When mixed with water, it creates a ready-to-drench solution that reaches the root zone where soil-borne fungi can affect plant health. This practical formulation supports routine care for ornamental setups where even coverage matters.

Designed for ornamentals such as bedding plants, bench plantings, and container-grown specimens, Banrot works with other care practices to maintain healthy roots and robust growth. The product’s versatility also makes it suitable for orchids and roses, where rooted systems and thriving displays are valued.

What it protects against

• Damping-off pathogens at the seedling or transplant stage
• Root and stem rot diseases caused by Pythium, Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, and Thielaviopsis

How to use

• Rate: 6 to 12 ounces per 100 gallons of water for a soil drench, adjusted for crop and pot size
• Apply to the root zone after planting or at the first sign of disease pressure
• Follow label directions for mixing, application timing, and safety considerations

The fine powder is easy to measure and dissolves with minimal clumping, enabling even distribution in the root zone. Store in a cool, dry place to help maintain performance over time.

Ideal use cases

• Greenhouse benches with dense bedding plantings where damping-off risk is higher
• Potted roses and other flowering ornamentals that rely on a healthy root system for vigorous growth
• Orchid collections and other specialty displays requiring careful soil management

Why gardeners choose Banrot 40 WP

• Broad-spectrum coverage against major soil-borne diseases
