Convergence by Certis Biologicals NOT A NEW INNOVATION

They already sell a product with the same active ingredient, which is Double Nickel 55!  Now, I am not sure how they priced these two products with the same active.

The measure of potency for their other fungal products uses germination (viable spores/g or viable spores/ml) instead of colony forming units (CFU/g or CFU/ml). Most of the time these products will pass if they claim viable spores counts, but they will fail if they claim CFU counts. PFR and SoilGard use CFU counts, while the other fungal products acquired from the LAM international in B...
