By Growing Produce Staff|March 7, 2012

OxiDate 2.0 Broad Spectrum Bactericide/Fungicide, a tool to eradicate fire blight innoculum on contact, has been registered as an alternative to traditional fire blight treatment options. OxiDate 2.0 utilizes its patented activated peroxygen chemistry to attack the fire blight pathogen (Erwinia amylovora) immediately upon contact. The rapid destruction of the pathogen’s cellular structure provides an effective kill in less than 30 seconds, helping to prevent infection caused by cankers and blossom blight.

There is no refrigeration necessary for OxiDate 2.0 as it is non-bacteria chemistry. It is EPA registered and listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute for pome fruit. OxiDate 2.0 can be sprayed through the bloom period and is easy to handle, as well as mixing readily into the spray tank.

OxiDate 2.0 is available in 2.5, 5, 30, 55, and 275 gallon containers. For more information on OxiDate 2.0 and how it controls fire blight in apples, contact BioSafe Systems at 888-273-3088.
