New Dart Fungicide EC from Westbridge receives EPA approval

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved the registration of  Westbridge Agricultural Products’ Dart Fungicide EC for the control of a wide range of fruit and vegetable diseases. In four years of university trials, the proprietary and patented technology in DART has demonstrated excellent control of diseases such as powdery mildew, downy mildew, botryosphaeria, alternaria (late blight), mummy berry, phomopsis, anthracnose and apple and pear scab.

Darts a broad spectrum contact fungicide that has been OMRI and NOP approved for use in certified organic crop production. Dart’s unique formulation is an emulsifiable concentrate that helps to improve crop quality by effectively controlling diseases that can negatively impact crop yield.

Dart is exempt from maximum residue limits (MRLs) and there is no pre-harvest interval (PHI), so it can be used throughout the growing season up to day of harvest. Dart is an ideal IPM candidate to rotate with other fungicides to combat resistance.
