It acts rapidly due to its quicker absorption by plants compared to other copper fertilizers. The reason is its stable Cu++ ionic form which is readily available to plants.
It has both preventative and fast curative action on copper deficiency conditions.
It can be used both by foliar applications and by soil drip application in alkaline soils where it corrects high pH’s when used repeatedly.
Application rates are very small due to its high potency, fast penetration into plant tissues & translocation within the plant. It is applied at 50-150 ml/hL foliarly and at 2-8L/ha by soil.
It does not pose any risks for irrigation piping blockage and nozzle clogging: It forms homogeneous and stable aqueous solution without agglomerates and sediments.
It does not stain treated plants and their organs (i.e. buds, flowers and fruits).
It does not cause phytotoxicity to plants even when used during sensitive stages (i.e. flowering) due to its low Cu++ content which is highly efficient.
