Veranda™ O latest addition to OHP fungicide family

In keeping with the mantra of adding quality pest control products for the horticulture market, OHP is proud to announce the introduction of Veranda O, a unique fungicide for the grower. Veranda O gives growers environmentallyfriendly control of hard-to-control diseases such as alternaria blight, anthracnose, botrytis, downy mildew, fusarium, powdery mildew, and rhizoctonia root and crown rot. Veranda O contains the active ingredient polyxin, a natural antibiotic and fermentation product of a soil bacterium.

“In addition to providing broad-spectrum control of many problematic diseases,Veranda O has an extremely favorable toxicological profile,” notes Jeff Dobbs, OHP director of technical service. “It has no toxicity to land mammals, insects, or birds, and degrades rapidly– within two to three days — in the environment.” Veranda O is designated as a bio-pesticide by the U.S. EPA, adds Dobbs. The product features a unique mode of action, preventive and curative activity, long-term residual control, and locally systemic activity. As an easy-to-use water dispersible granule (WDG) formulation,Veranda O may be used in greenhouses, lath and shade houses, interiorscapes, and field and container nurseries. In addition to ornamentals,Veranda O will soon be labeled for use on cucurbits, fruiting vegetables, pome fruits, and strawberries grown under cover.

Veranda O carries a 4-hour Restricted Entry Interval (REI) and a Caution signal word. With the addition of Veranda O, OHP now features 13 fungicide brands in its family of products. Veranda O, packaged in one-pound containers with four to a case, will be available in the first quarter of 2009.
