Dry Prill and Formula 2 Flowable Formulations
• Dry Beans •
Bacterial pathogens in dry beans can have a
significant effect on yield (including size and quality).
Depending on environmental conditions, Champ
products can help prevent yield losses attributed to
bacterial diseases that decrease profit potential.
The copper hydroxide formulations Champ Dry Prill
and Champ Formula 2 Flowable, offered by Nufarm
Americas Inc, provide growers with affordable options
that can enhance yield by preventing the
establishment and spread of destructive diseases.
Don’t let unwanted diseases affect your
bottom line! Get Champ to knock them
out before they ever get started!
“Copper-based bactericides have effectively reduced
populations of pathogenic pseudomonads on bean foliage
and reduced the spread of these pathogens in infected
crops…Applying copper protectants early in the season
(June or July) every seven to 10 days during cool moist
weather can decrease establishment of bacterial
pathogens.
To ensure complete coverage, copper
products should be applied with at least 5 gallons of water
per acre. When pathogens have become established and
disease symptoms are evident, copper sprays can help
reduce their spread to healthy foliage and pods.”
