OHP's Segway O label expands to include veggies and herbs

OHP, Inc. has announced a label expansion for the greenhouse and nursery fungicide Segway O that allows the product to be used for control of pythium, phythophthora and downy mildew on certain greenhouse-grown vegetables and herbs transplants.

"We wanted to give users more flexibility with Segway O because of the success of the product on non-food ornamentals in the greenhouse and nursery,” said Dan Stahl, OHP vice president and general manager. "It's a very timely label addition with the exponential growth in the greenhouse-grown vegetable and herb segments.”

Containing the active ingredient cyazofamid, Segway O is an alternative to commonly used fungicides where widespread resistance to the water mold diseases has developed, noted Dr. Carlos Bográn, OHP manager technical services.

Segway O is labeled for use on greenhouse-grown tomatoes, greenhouse-grown bell peppers, and greenhouse-grown herbs such as basil and others in Subgroup A. Segway O carries a 0-day PHI.

The revised Segway O label has new EPA registration numbers that users should note. Package and case size are unchanged.
