Liquid Terrazole® to make debut in 2009

For years, growers have relied on OHP Terrazole Wettable Powder (WP) for reliable preventive and curative control of pythium. With active ingredient etradiazole,Terrazole WP has become a major part of many disease control rotational strategies as growers have incorporated the product into their programs to treat mefenoxam-resistant pythium. OHP plans to introduce a new Terrazole formulation — Terrazole L, an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation — to the production ornamentals market in 2009.

Terrazole L is a liquid product which will give growers more flexibility and reduced residue. In addition, it will make mixing easier for the grower. Both formulations offer the same pythium curative characteristics. “We expect to have the product available by mid-year,” notes Dan Stahl, OHP vice president of marketing and business development. “We feel a liquid Terrazole product will help growers from an ease-of-use perspective,” adds Stahl. “Some growers prefer working with liquids but we will maintain the two Terrazole formulations.” Terrazole L will be packaged in quart bottles and carries a 12-hour Restricted Entry Interval (REI).
