Peak Cu
composition:
Copper |
5.75% |
Gluconic Acid |
40% |
Mode of Action:
The divalent copper ion (Cu+2) is released and absorbed by the fungal spores until it reaches a lethal concentration, At this point, the copper ion disrupts the protoplasm structure in the fungal cell, leading to its death.
Advantages:
- Systemic Fertilizer: This fertilizer has systemic properties that allow for easy absorption through leaves or roots, facilitating movement through the vascular tissues to all parts of the plant.
- Increased Resistance: Enhances the plant's self-resistance against fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, root rot, stem rot, lichens, brown rot, fire blight, flower blight, anthracnose, purple spot, late blight, dieback, tip dieback, and sooty mold.
- Reduced Pesticide Toxicity: Decreases pesticide toxicity by boosting the plant's immunity and improving its ability to withstand stress conditions. It also enhances the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil efficiently.
- Improved Pollination: Increases the formation and vitality of pollen and fertilization, leading to enhanced fertilization and fruit set, as well as improving the flavor and color of fruits.
- Increased Enzyme Production: Stimulates the production of respiratory and photosynthetic enzymes, contributing to chlorophyll formation.
- Oxidation and Reduction Enzymes: Plays a role in the formation of certain oxidation and reduction enzymes in the plant and mitigates the toxicity of some elements when their concentration is elevated.
- Safe Copper Source: Contains copper gluconate, one of the safest forms of copper with a direct effect on plant health.
- Protein Content: Increases the protein content in grains such as wheat and is essential for seed formation.
- Increased Soil Bacterial Nodules: Promotes the formation of bacterial nodules in the soil.
- Application Stages: Can be sprayed at all stages of plant life (flowering, fruit set, and fruit development).
General Usage Rate:
Foliar Spray: 0.5 to 1 liter per acre.
Soil Injection: 1 to 2 liters per acre, depending on the severity of the infestation.
