Default Mycostop and endomycorrhizae innoculants

Hello fellow gardeners!
This year I was finally deciding to use actinovate as root drench at the time of planting the seedlings. However, it is really difficult to find small size actinovate online. So I was looking for another product with same or similar ingredients and mycostop came up on my radar.
Mycostop is Streptomyces griseoviridis strain k61 while actinovate is Streptomyces Lydicus

They are labeled for 3-4 common diseases and Mycostop lists 1-2 more. So I decided to use mycostop and bought it. Now I am wondering if mycostop will kill or be bad for the endomycorrhizae innoculant. I have emailed the question to the manufacturer of mycostop (http://verdera.fi/en/front-page/) and will report what they say.

https://www.lebanonturf.com/educatio...on-mycorrhizae - This article suggests that I should wait 2 weeks before applying innoculant or 4 weeks after - which allows the spores to colonize the roots. However, it does not list biofungicides, only chemical fungicides ..

So any experience using mycostop with endomycorrhizae innoculants?

Thanks
