OxiDate/PM/ Harvesting

[dorjewright]

Biosafesystems response to my question about residue if used at harvest to knock out any remaining powdery mildew. Used tobacco as example.





Jennifer

If OxiDate is applied after harvest but before drying then the leaf is dryed will there be any residue? Or put another way will OxiDate decompose leaving no residue in the absence of sunlight in a drying room?

OxiDate is labeled for use on tobacco while growing in the field. OxiDate leaves no residue whatsoever and will not change the tobacco plant in any way. Let me know if I can help further.


OxiDate breaks down into water and oxygen about 20 minutes after application, so it leaves no residue or harmful byproducts behind. You need not worry about any adverse effects to the tobacco leaves.

that shit is pricey and a waste , just hose the PM off during harvest and hang to dry... PM will not be back once hung to dry... simple no cost and works

I thought PM is Systemic, so it lives in the plant. Your basically washing off the spores, not the mildew itself.

that's all oxidate does is wash the shit off the outside .... water does the same..

That's not all OxiDate does. Water cannot kill (via bursting cell walls) the way OxiDate can. Yes, it only affects what's on the exterior of the leaves, but it's a lot better than just washing it with water. The PM within tissues isn't going to live (long) once the plant is cut down. But what about those spores? OxiDate will kill them.

Excellent!
