Kuprosil

Effective Protection for Orchards and Vegetable Crops

"Cuprosil" by NVF "Stim" is a robust contact fungicide based on copper compounds, widely regarded as a staple in integrated pest management. Rather than systemic treatment, this product is designed to create a reliable protective barrier, preventing pathogens from colonizing plant tissues. Its water-based formulation simplifies the preparation of spray mixtures and ensures uniform coverage of leaf surfaces.

Field Application Scenarios

• Vineyards: The primary use is the control of downy mildew (mildew). Due to its contact action, it is indispensable during critical vegetative growth stages when preventing primary infections is paramount.
• Apple Orchards: Used as a preventive measure against apple scab. Timely applications aligned with the tree's growth phases ensure healthy foliage, with a mandatory 30-day pre-harvest interval.
• Vegetables (Tomatoes): Protection against various spots, anthracnose, and downy mildew. Its effectiveness against late blight makes it a crucial component for protecting crops in open fields.

Technical Specifications and Guidelines

Classified as a category 3 hazard, the product requires standard handling procedures for copper-based fungicides. Application rates range from 3.0 to 4.0 L/ha or higher, depending on the phytosanitary conditions and the development stage of the crop. A maximum of 3 treatments per season is recommended to manage copper accumulation effectively while maintaining a flexible protection schedule.

The efficacy of "Cuprosil" is strictly dependent on the quality of coverage. Because it functions as a contact agent, achieving thorough wetting of all plant parts is essential for success in preventing disease outbreaks.
