1. Product Overview:

Copper Oxychloride 50% WP is a broad-spectrum, contact fungicide and bactericide formulated as a wettable powder (WP). It is widely used to prevent and control fungal and bacterial diseases in various crops, including vegetables, fruits, cereals, pulses, and ornamental plants.

This copper-based fungicide is highly effective against leaf spots, blights, anthracnose, downy mildew, bacterial diseases, and rusts. It works by inhibiting fungal spore germination and disrupting bacterial metabolism, ensuring healthy crop growth and higher yields.

2. Mode of Action:

Copper Oxychloride 50% WP is a protective contact fungicide and bactericide that works by:

• Preventing Spore Germination: Copper ions disrupt fungal cell enzymes, preventing their growth.

• Inhibiting Bacterial Growth: Copper interferes with bacterial metabolism, stopping infections.

• Contact Action: Forms a protective barrier on plant surfaces, stopping pathogens before they infect.

• Multi-Site Activity: Reduces the risk of resistance development in fungi and bacteria.
