CUPRINA FUNGICIDE
Cuprina Fungicide
Cuprina Fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide with bactericidal properties, powered by the active ingredient Copper Oxychloride 50% WG. It offers long-lasting protection against fungal and bacterial diseases like Downy Mildew and Anthracnose, making it ideal for crops such as grapes and mangoes.
Technical Composition
- Technical Name: Copper Oxychloride 50% WG
- Formulation: Water Dispersible Granule (WDG)
Key Features
- Broad-spectrum control of fungal and bacterial diseases
- Optimized leaf coverage and better adherence to plant surfaces
- Improved resistance to wash-off from rain
- Stable in tank mixes and compatible with other agrochemicals
- Effective for long durations due to strong retention on crop surfaces
Mode of Action
Cuprina works by disrupting the cellular protein functions of fungi and bacteria. When cupric ions are released in the presence of moisture, they denature the protein structures, leading to the loss of function and destruction of the pathogens.
