Effective botrytis disease control

Botrytis is a common parasitic fungal disease that is well-known to cause devastating crop losses to a wide variety of soft fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, wine grapes, and tomatoes, as well as bulb crops, annual, perennial, and ornamental plants.

A disciplined, scheduled fungicide spray program is an indispensable part of effectively combating Botrytis, and is best implemented preventively, before the onset of disease, or at low disease pressure when symptoms first appear.  The fungicide of choice is OxiDate, because its unique chemistry rapidly oxidizes on contact to cure and protect crops from a wide variety of harmful disease pathogens.  OxiDate is also OMRI-certified for use with organic crops, and can also be applied as a foliar treatment, surface disinfectant, soil drench, and pre-plant dip any time from seed to harvest.

OxiDate’s patented scientific formula also prevents the development of tolerant disease strains, is exempt from pesticide control regulations, and is one of the few that exceeds the high environmental standards for sale and use in the earth-friendly state of California.
