Copper Oxychloride 50% WG (Wettable Granules) is a highly effective, broad-spectrum, inorganic copper-based contact fungicide and bactericide used extensively in agriculture. It acts as a protective shield for crops, preventing fungal and bacterial spores from germinating and causing infection.
Key Agricultural Benefits and Features:
Broad-Spectrum Disease Control: It is highly effective against a wide range of diseases, including Downey Mildew, Anthracnose, Leaf Spot, Fruit Rot, Rust, and Blight.
Dual Action (Fungicide & Bactericide): It is one of the few reliable options that manages both fungal and bacterial diseases, making it crucial for bacterial spot, canker, and blights.
Preventive and Protective Action: When applied, it forms a fine,, durable protective barrier on the plant surface that prevents pathogen infection.
High Weather Resistance (Rainfastness): The WG formulation offers excellent adhesiveness, meaning it sticks to leaves even during rainy conditions, providing long-lasting protection.
Low Resistance Risk: Because it has a multi-site mode of actionreleasing copper ions that disrupt multiple metabolic pathways in pathogensit is very difficult for fungi to develop resistance, making it an excellent choice for rotation.
Improves Crop Health and Quality: By controlling diseases, it helps in maintaining healthier, thicker leaves and higher-quality, blemish-free fruit, resulting in better yields.
Suitable for Integrated Pest Management (IPM): It is a staple in many organic and sustainable farming programs due to its low toxicity to beneficial organisms and effective, non-systemic nature.
Safe for Mammals: It is generally considered safe for mammals, with low chemical impact on the environment when used as directed.
