Abstract | Oxytetracycline is an antibiotic drug produced by a micro-organism. Two related compounds, hydroxytetracycline monohydrochloride and oxytetracycline calcium, are registered as pesticides, for use in preventing the growth of or killing bacteria, fungi and mycoplasma-like organisms. These pesticides are used primarily to control fire blight of pears, pear decline, bacterial spot on peaches and nectarines, lethal yellowing of coconut palm, and lethal decline of pritchardia palm; and as an antifoulant added to marine paints to prevent the growth of barnacles. |
