Bordeo IZAGRO 20

Technological Advancement in Copper-Based Protection

"Bordo Isagro 20" represents the evolution of classic copper-based fungicides. By converting the traditional Bordeaux mixture into water-dispersible granules (WDG), the manufacturer has solved the primary technical drawback of such compounds: solution instability and sprayer nozzle clogging. Italian producer "Isagro" has achieved a high degree of particle dispersion, ensuring uniform coverage of the leaf surface and the creation of a durable protective film that withstands washing by precipitation.

The Importance of Physical-Chemical Formulation

At the heart of the product is copper sulfate in a balanced composition. The mode of action is contact-based: copper blocks the enzymatic systems of pathogens, preventing fungal spore germination at early stages. This makes it a vital tool for preventing apple and pear scab, late blight on tomatoes and potatoes, and downy mildew on grapes and cucumbers.

• Stability and Adhesion: The granules dissolve instantly without forming sediment, which is critical when using modern fine-droplet application equipment.
• Broad-Spectrum Control: The mechanism is effective against anthracnose, leaf spots, and mildew, allowing for the protection of multiple crop types with a single product.
• Application Standards: Up to 3–4 treatments per season are permitted, maintaining a 30-day pre-harvest interval. An application rate exceeding 4.0 kg/ha necessitates careful equipment calibration to ensure total surface coverage.

Users must adhere to the Class 3 safety regulations and respect the 30-day pre-harvest interval. This product serves as an effective "stop signal" for pathogens in perennial plantations and vegetable fields, where preventing primary infection is essential for yield preservation.
