Fungicide Approved For Greenhouse Tomatoes
August 1, 2013 BASF has received EPA approval of Pageant Intrinsic fungicide for use on greenhouse-grown tomatoes for commercial production, and for tomato transplants grown in greenhouses, shadehouses, and lathhouses for the home consumer market.
“The disease control and plant health benefits of Pageant Intrinsic fungicide will be a boon for growers who produce tomatoes,” said Kathie Kalmowitz, market development specialist for BASF. “The product is filling the need for the commercial growers of greenhouse tomatoes. Both large and smaller operations will benefit from having Pageant Intrinsic fungicide now in their disease management plan. We’re pleased to provide the industry’s broadest spectrum fungicide to fight troublesome diseases such as Botrytis cinera.”
The new, approved uses will provide growers and consumers who transplant tomatoes grown in greenhouses, shadehouses, and lathhouses with protection from the time of seedling emergence to shipping, including protection from seedling diseases and against stresses such as cold, heat, drought, and shipping.
Pageant Intrinsic fungicide provides broad-spectrum disease control, and research has proven that it provides plant health benefits such as enhanced stress tolerance and increased efficiency of plant processes, according to the company.
