Description
Key effects:
Innovative HGA Complexation
Heptagluconic acid ensures complete copper complexation and efficient transport within the plant, maximising bioavailability and providing long-lasting activity.
Reduced Risk of Phytotoxicity
The safe formulation minimises application-related stress, allowing use in intensive preventive programmes without the risk of damage to plant tissues.
Support for Fungicide Programmes
The formulation strengthens natural plant defence mechanisms and supports the synthesis of lignin and phytoalexins, helping reduce the pressure of fungal and bacterial diseases.
Increased Copper Mobility
The readily available form of copper facilitates its movement within the plant.
Ingredients:
| Micronutrients | % m/m | % m/v |
|---|---|---|
| Copper (Cu) | 5,000 | 6,10 |
| Density: 1,22 kg/l | ||
| pH: 3,0-5,0 | ||
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 | Rate l/ha | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Field crops | 1-2 | 1–2 applications from the tillering stage / during intensive growth |
| Fruit and berry crops | 1-2 | 2–3 applications from the green bud stage and after harvest |
| Vegetables | 1-2 | 2–3 applications from the intensive growth stage |
| Fertigation | 0,3-0,5% | Depending on the needs of the crop |
