Description

Badge® X2 Fungicide

Badge® X2 Fungicide is an OMRI Listed®, patented, dry formulation that combines copper hydroxide and copper oxychloride to deliver both immediate and long-lasting disease protection. While copper hydroxide quickly releases copper ions for rapid plant protection, copper oxychloride releases ions more gradually, providing extended residual control. As a result, Badge X2 offers outstanding wash-off resistance and continues protecting crops during and after rainfall.

Key Features

Badge X2 delivers several advantages that help maximize crop health and performance:

• Dual copper technology combines fast-acting copper hydroxide with slow-release copper oxychloride to provide immediate disease protection while extending residual control for season-long crop quality.
• Excellent wash-off resistance helps maintain protection through rain events, giving growers greater confidence that the product continues working even in challenging weather conditions.
• Superior mixing performance allows the dry formulation to dissolve quickly and remain in solution, making application easier and more consistent.
• No blue residue leaves harvested fruits and vegetables with a cleaner, more marketable appearance.
• OMRI Listed® for use in certified organic production systems.
• Broad-spectrum disease control protects labeled field crops, tree nuts, citrus, and vegetables from a wide range of bacterial and fungal diseases.

Application & Safety Information

To achieve the best performance, follow all label directions and application guidelines.

• Mixing & Application: Maintain a spray solution pH of 6.5 or higher, as lower pH levels may increase the risk of phytotoxicity (plant injury). Do not pre-mix or prepare a slurry. Instead, add Badge X2 directly to the spray tank, then incorporate spreaders, stickers, or nutrients last. Whenever tank mixing with other products, perform a compatibility jar test before application.
• Re-Entry Interval (REI): Workers may re-enter treated standard agricultural fields after 48 hours or greenhouse applications after 24 hours.
• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): 0 days, allowing applications up to the day of harvest.
• Active Ingredients: 28% Metallic Copper Equivalent (MCE) from copper hydroxide and copper oxychloride.
• Application Rates: Rates vary by crop and target disease. For example, certain citrus applications typically require 1.75 to 3.5 pounds per acre. Always refer to the product label for crop-specific recommendations.
• Label Guidance: Consult the official Gowan Company Product Label for complete application directions, registered crops, mixing instructions, and required personal protective equipment (PPE).
