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.
Crops Protected
- Pears – Fire Blight
- Apples – Section 18 Emergency Exemption issued in Idaho, Oregon and Washington state for Fire Blight [check other states for current Section 18 approvals.]
- Peaches and Nectarines – Bacterial Spot
Mode of Action
- Protectant, limits multiplication
- Bacteristatic only
- Locally systemic
- Duration estimated at 1 day
- Application timing and coverage are crucial
Application Rates
For Fire Blight in pears apply 80 ounces per acre for tree fruit equivalent to 200 ppm @ 500 gallons per acre. The preharvest interval is 60 days. This product may cause phytotoxicity to fruit and/or foliage on sensitive varieties. [follow label use directions for crop development, application intervals, and frequency.]
Section 18 Emergency Exemption in Idaho, Oregon and Washington State for Fire Blight on apples – apply 16 ounces per acre for tree fruit per 100 gallons equivalent to 200 ppm for a maximum of 5 applications per season. The reentry interval is 12 hours with a preharvest interval of 60 days.
For Bacterial Spot in peaches and nectarines apply 28.8 ounces per acre for tree fruit equivalent to 150 ppm @ 240 gallons per acre. The preharvest interval is 21 days. [follow label use directions for crop development, application intervals and frequency.]
Resistance Management
There is no documented resistance. Use against populations resistant to streptomycin.
