CUPROS 50% WP 500GM

Product Overview

CUPROS 50% WP is a high-performance, copper-based wettable powder fungicide and bactericide designed for agricultural, horticultural, and ornamental use. It delivers reliable, multi-site contact protection against a wide range of fungal and bacterial pathogens, acting as a preventive shield to safeguard crops during critical growth phases. This formulation excels in integrated pest management (IPM) programs, providing broad-spectrum control with minimal environmental persistence.

Active Ingredient

• Copper oxychloride 50% w/w

• Equivalent to approximately 28-50% metallic copper (depending on specific product variant)

Mode of Action

Contact fungicide and bactericide with multi-site activity. Releases Cu²⁺ ions upon application, which disrupt enzyme systems in fungal spores, mycelium, and bacterial cells, preventing germination, infection, and spread. Non-systemic; forms a protective, adhesive film on plant surfaces that remains effective against incoming pathogens (protectant only, not curative).

Key Diseases Controlled

• Coffee leaf rust and coffee berry disease (CBD)

• Anthracnose and bacterial blight (French beans, vegetables)

• Late blight and early blight (tomatoes, potatoes)

• Downy mildew and powdery mildew

• Leaf spot, rust, and black spot

• Bacterial speck and citrus canker

• Frog eye leaf spot and black rot

• Alternaria blight and anthracnose (general crops)

Recommended Crops

Coffee, French beans, tomatoes, potatoes, chilies, onions, cucumbers, grapes, citrus, apples, pears, bananas, rice, tea, cardamom, coconut, tobacco, cumin, betel, and most vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals.

Key Benefits

• Broad-spectrum, rain-fast protection with excellent leaf adhesion

• Low copper residue for eco-friendly application

• Compatible with tank mixes and IPM practices

• Minimal impact on beneficial insects when used preventively

• Easy suspension in water; non-clogging in sprayers

• Cost-effective disease management for sustainable yields

Application Rate (General Guide)

• Coffee: 7.7 kg/ha or 140 g/20 L water

• French beans/vegetables: 2-2.5 kg/ha or 40-50 g/20 L water

• General crops: 1.5–3.0 kg/ha (high-volume sprayers) or 2.5 g/L for foliar spray

• Apply every 7–14 days preventively, or at early disease signs; use hollow cone nozzles for best coverage

Re-entry Interval

24–48 hours (crop- and region-specific; consult local guidelines)

Pre-harvest Interval (PHI)

3–14 days (e.g., 14 days for coffee, 3 days for vegetables; always verify label)

Safety & Environment

• Highly toxic to aquatic life—avoid runoff into water bodies; apply in cool, dry conditions

• Wear PPE (gloves, mask, protective clothing) during mixing, application, and cleanup

• Store in a cool, dry place away from food, feed, and children

• Residue-free on harvest when PHI is observed; supports organic-compatible farming
