OxiDate: Standalone or in Combination
Though organic biological fungicides like Serenade have great residual effect when applied before disease symptoms appear, OxiDate provides an immediate contact kill of disease spores. OxiDate, OxiDate Ready-to-Spray (RTS) and OxiDate Ready-to-Use (RTU) all provide excellent broad-spectrum disease control when applied preventatively on a 5-7 day schedule AND can be used as a curative solution when disease symptoms present themselves.
OxiDate also be used in combination or even tank-mixed with biological fungicides or copper to prevent diseases like late blight or downey mildew. If mixing, add OxiDate (or OxiDate RTS) first, then fill the tank half-full with water, then add the biological fungicide or copper and then the rest of the water. If alternating applications, spray OxiDate first and then the biological fungicide an hour later on a weekly basis.
