I have been following this thread for some time, mainly as I brewed ACT for a few years before realizing I was in fact making matters worse.
This year trying to combat the 'wilts' knowing I had Corky Root Rot I decided to stick to just one treatment, trying to eliminate the 'waste of time' treatments.
Biotamax was my treatment of choice, inoculating each plant at 'plant out' time. Dipping each one, complete with pot in bucket of brewed Biotamax, waiting for the bubbles to subside, then planting out.
It worked, or as far as I can determine. I still have plants wilting, on pulling them the roots and stems are clean, cutting into the stems I'm finding the brown stain indicative of F/V.
It seems Biotamax helps with CRR. Makes one wonder what other diseases it is good for, certainly not for F/V.
