FlameOut™

Fungicide/Bactericide
Agricultural Oxytetracycline

FlameOut controls bacteria resistant to streptomycin, and offers outstanding control of bacterial diseases in pears, apples (Section 18), peaches and nectarines.

The active ingredient in FlameOut, oxytetracycline (terramycin) hydrochloride, is especially useful in resistance management programs in conjunction with other products. It can be used in combination or rotation with Firewall and other bactericides, and is compatible with most pesticides commonly used in orchards. Oxytetracycline hydrochloride compares favorably with the oxytetracycline calcium complex. It shows reduced caking, superior dispersion, and improved mixing characteristics.
