I buy the eight pound bag of terraclor at the co-op. The directions
state that this size bag can treat up to 1,000 square foot (grasses).
The active ingredient is Pentachloronitrobenzene at 4.67%. (Maybe
Dave S. knows what that is).
Inert ingredients are 95.33 %.
Seems like I remember seeing 5% terraclor printed on bags I used
to buy.
Terraclor is very effective for crown rot, and if I had not used it last
year when I did, I feel the entire bed would have been wiped out.
As it was I lost only about ten irises at the end of that particular
bed. Crown rot appeared only in this one bed. It did not appear at
all in field grown irises.
Gable Iris out of Minneapolis used to advertise terraclor in the AIS
Bulletin, and I used to buy the powder from them. Usually the
powder is not in stock at the co-op and must be ordered. It is quite
expensive, but if it will save your irises when bleach, comet, and
Dial soap won't, it is worth it. I have found terraclor to be the ONLY
cure for crown rot. It also is the ONLY preventive/cure of damping
off in seedlings that I know of.
