Kuproksat

Reliable protection against fungal threats

When working with Cuproxat, the agronomist's primary goal is to establish a solid barrier against phytopathogens, and this contact fungicide performs like a classic, heavy-duty tool. In the field, the tribasic copper sulfate formulation shows excellent adhesion; once the suspension concentrate dries, it forms a durable, weather-resistant film on the foliage. This is a critical advantage when treating large apple orchards or vineyards during periods of high humidity and rainfall.

Operational specifics and dosing

The product is straightforward to handle: the concentrate mixes easily in the sprayer tank and does not clog nozzles if the dilution ratio is respected. Depending on the infection pressure and the crop growth stage, the dosage ranges from 3.0 to 4.0 L/ha, occasionally going higher. We strongly advise adhering to the prescribed limit of 3–4 treatments per season, as copper is a powerful agent that requires disciplined management.

Practical application tips

• Pre-harvest interval (PHI): Plan your harvest ahead, as the interval before the final application must be 20–30 days. This buffer is necessary for the product to degrade and ensure consumer safety.
• Controlled threats: The core expertise includes managing scab, downy mildew, late blight, and bacterial infections across a wide range of crops: from potatoes and tomatoes to sunflowers and soybeans.
• Safety protocols: The product is classified as Hazard Class 3. Despite its moderate toxicity, always wear appropriate respiratory and skin protection when handling copper-based fungicides.

Choosing Cuproxat means relying on time-tested copper technology that delivers predictable results when the application rates are managed correctly.
