Gowan Canada Inc. is pleased to announce the registration of EcoSwing botanical fungicide, the first commercially available biological product for Gowan in the Canadian horticulture market. On July 5, 2024, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency approved the registration of EcoSwing as a new biological fungicide. The product can be used on apples, highbush blueberries, field and greenhouse cucurbits and stone fruit. 

EcoSwing is a liquid formulation, that offers activity on diseases such as Mummy berry (Monilinia vaccini-corymbos), apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) and powdery mildew (Golovinomyces orontii). EcoSwing also offers a convenient four-hour re-entry interval (REI) and a 0-day pre-harvest interval (PHI), making it a great option as a part of an integrated pest management (IPM) program. 

EcoSwing will be available for Canadian growers throughout the 2025 growing season. For more information about EcoSwing, contact your local Gowan Canada sales representative. Always read and follow label directions.
