OxiDate® 2.0 Broad Spectrum Bactericide & Fungicide - 2.5gal - OMRI Listed®

OxiDate® 2.0 Broad Spectrum Bactericide & Fungicide 2.5gal — OMRI Listed® | Peroxyacetic Acid | Zero-Day PHI

OxiDate 2.0 is a powerful broad-spectrum bactericide and fungicide based on BioSafe Systems' proprietary peroxyacetic acid (PAA) chemistry. PAA is a highly oxidizing compound that eradicates bacteria, fungi, and spores on contact by disrupting their enzymes and proteins — delivering immediate knockdown of pathogens without leaving harmful residues and without known resistance development. OxiDate 2.0 is designed for both curative and preventive disease management and integrates seamlessly into foliar spray programs as a standalone product or tank-mix partner with residual and systemic chemistries. With a zero-day pre-harvest interval (PHI) and a 1-hour REI for spray applications, it supports continuous disease management right up to harvest.

Key Features & Benefits

• Peroxyacetic Acid (PAA) Mode of Action: PAA is a powerful oxidizing agent that denatures bacterial and fungal enzymes and proteins on contact — providing immediate knockdown of pathogens including spores. The oxidation-based mechanism has no known resistance, making OxiDate 2.0 a valuable rotation partner in resistance management programs.
• No Known Resistance: The broad oxidative mode of action does not create resistance risk — pathogens cannot develop tolerance to oxidative disruption the way they develop resistance to enzyme-inhibiting chemistry.
• Zero-Day PHI: No pre-harvest interval — OxiDate 2.0 can be applied right up to the day of harvest for continuous disease suppression during the critical final production period.
• 1-Hour REI (Spray) / 0-Hour REI (Non-Spray): Short re-entry intervals support high-frequency spray programs and minimal production disruption.
• Curative & Preventive Activity: Controls active infections and prevents new disease outbreaks when applied preventively on a regular schedule.
• No Harmful Residues: PAA breaks down rapidly into acetic acid, water, and oxygen — leaving no toxic residues on treated crops or in the environment.
• Broad Crop Coverage: Labeled for bulb vegetables, citrus, cole crops, fruiting vegetables, herbs and spices, leafy vegetables, pome fruit, stone fruit, tree nuts, tropical fruits, and more.
• Broad Disease Spectrum: Controls Alternaria, anthracnose, bacterial blight, bacterial leaf spot, black rot, Botrytis blight, downy mildew, early blight, Fusarium wilt, late blight, leaf spot, Phytophthora, powdery mildew, rust, Rhizoctonia, and more.
• OMRI Listed® for Organic & Conventional Production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is peroxyacetic acid (PAA)?

Peracetic acid (PAA) is a powerful oxidizing compound formed from hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. It destroys microbial cells by oxidizing their structural proteins and enzymes on contact. PAA breaks down rapidly into acetic acid, water, and oxygen — leaving no harmful environmental residues.

Can OxiDate 2.0 be used as a tank mix with other fungicides?

Yes. OxiDate 2.0 integrates into foliar spray programs as a tank mix partner with residual and systemic fungicide chemistries — the PAA component provides immediate knockdown while residual partners provide extended protection.

What is the difference between the spray and non-spray REI?

When applied as a foliar spray (the primary use), the REI is 1 hour. For non-spray applications such as pre-plant dips or seed treatments where spray drift is not a factor, the REI is 0 hours.
