Description
Recommendations for use:
– In order to provide copper as a preventive and intervention measure, in the event of a deficit in the plants
– In crops with a high demand for copper: cereals, sugar beet, vegetable crops and orchards
– In order to improve the winter hardiness of crops
– To increase resistance to biotic stress caused by harmful pathogens and abiotic stress caused by drought, high temperatures or frost.
– To improve crop quality and increase storability
| MACROELEMENTS | % weight | % volume |

| Nitrogen (N) | 15.00 | 20.25 |
| MICROELEMENTS | % weight | % volume |
| Copper (Cu) | 5.000 | 6.750 |
The role of copper in plants:
- Influences proper ear formation in cereals and the flowering process
- Responsible for the correct development of the root system
- Good nutrition with this element results in better grain filling in the ear
- Strengthens the mechanical resistance of the plant and increases resistance to lodging
- Increases plant resistance to fungal and bacterial diseases
- Increases protein, fat and sugars in the crop.
- Improves the storability of vegetables
Copper deficiencies result in:
- Disease of a newly cultivated land occurring in cereals that becomes apparent during the dry season: chlorosis of leaf margins, bleaching, and twisting of leaves, bleaching of ears
- Excessive and prolonged earing of cereals
- Delaying the flowering phase of cereals
- Empty ears in cereals
- Blue colouring of the leaves in tomatoes
Dosage and timing of application:
| Crop | Dose (l/ha) | Number of Treatments and Application Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar Beet | 1.5-2 | 1 treatment at the 4-6 leaf stage (BBCH 14-18) |
| Fruit Trees and Shrubs | 1-1.5 | 2 treatments: at the green bud stage (BBCH 53-59) and after harvest (BBCH 89-99) |
| Field Crops (carrots, onions, lettuce) | 1-1.5 | 2 treatments: when deficiencies are noticed at an interval of 12-14 days |
| Spring Cereals | 1.5-2 | 2 treatments: from the beginning of tillering to the end of earing (BBCH 25-59) |
| Winter Cereals | 1.5-2 | 3 treatments: in autumn – 1 treatment from the 3 leaf stage (BBCH 13-25), in spring 2 treatments after the start of growth up to the 2nd elbow stage (BBCH 25-49) and at the earing stage (BBCH 50-59) |
| Potatoes | 1.5-2 | 1 treatment: after flowering (BBCH 69) |
