Echo is a contact fungicide with multi-site mode of action and is very stable on plant surfaces. Echo provides broad-spectrum disease control in a large number of crops, including pulses, blueberries, wheat, tomatoes, ginseng, potatoes and a variety of other crops.

A more concentrated formulation of chlorothalonil product than has previously been available in Canada, Echo makes an excellent foundation fungicide product, according to Janet Porchak, national marketing and communications manager for UAP, the distributor of Echo in Canada.

“Echo is based on chemistry that is familiar to and proven with many Canadian growers,” she said. “This fact, combined with the wide range of crops it can be used on, diseases it controls and a more concentrated formulation for reduced handling requirements, all make Echo an excellent choice for producers looking to maximize and protect their investment in the production of their crops.”

Echo is further enhanced by the manufacturer’s DuraShield™ formulation, which helps the product to stick and stay on the plant surface. This formulation ensures sufficient delivery of the active ingredient to the plant surface, even after rainfall or irrigation. As a result, Echo is rain-fast once dried on the plant surface.

There will be two formulations of Echo – 720 liquid and 90 DF dry. The product does not require a surfactant and both formulations are approved for aerial application.
