Ferticupper is a copper in gluconate form, designed to prvide organic copper through the foliage and root system, fully digestible to enhance the plant`s defense. It is colorless, systematic and allows to be evenly distributed throughout the plant so that gives it properties and reinforcing protective against a number of fungal diseases such as mildew, Repilo, Phytophtora Spotted Dent, Monilia, screening and also against Bacteriosis. Copper is an element that is involved in many metabolic processes, therefore, wethwr a plant has optimum iron levels have a proper growth and vigor. By contrast, excess copper phototoxicity occurs because iron and displaces this is totally blocked. This also occurs in oomycete fungi but at different levels. Copper levels which are suitable for plants are already toxic to fungi. Therefore, if we keep the plant tissuse with potimum, homogeneous copper persistent levels have hostile enviroments for fungi and thus attacks will occur or not, or will occur less aggressively.
Apply only once a month.
Ferticupper is allowed in organic farming.
Use rate:
- Grapevine: 2-3 l/ha depending on the foliage
- Vegetable plants: 2-3 l/ha foliar, 3-4 l/ha through roots
- Fruit trees: 2-3 l/ha foliar, 3-4 l/ha radicular
- Cereals: 2 l/ha
Composition:
- Copper min 6.8%
- Copper in gluconic form 1.18 kg/l
- Ph: 9.7
By adminitration of fertilizers specific to the summer period, we take a step towards a more drought-resistant lawn. But let's not forget that the resistance of plants to stress is given by the specific balance of nutrients, both macroelements, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium in the fertilizer, and the presence of trace elements. Theoretically, every 2 to 3 weeks it would be necessary to supplement the microelements, in order to maintain the balance, and it is good to know that the widely used fertilizers do not contain the necessary microelements for the lawn. The administration of microelements before a period of stress, brings the resistance of the plant. How do we do it? Or foliar, a day or two before mowing the lawn by spraying. We have 2 products with a package of microelements: Plex Mix, it can be sprayed with a concentration of 0.2-0.4%, or Micropower Eco at a concentration of 0.2-0.3%. Both products can also be used for irrigation, and in this way will be absorbed by the root. From Plex Mix we use about 80-100 ml per 100 sqm, and from Micropower Eco 40-50 ml.
Under heat stress the plants become even more sensitive and in 7-10 days receive a thermal stress. This stress will not allow the plant to resume growth. Stress can be alleviated by administering stimulants with free amino acids, such as Cropmax, Formula 20 or BonBon. The latter also has the advantage of preventing some foliar diseases.
Either the uncut lawn has grown in a period of drought, or in a rainy period the density of vegetation leads to foliage disease. A strong disease of lawn is powdery mildew, which just has the period of infection at high temperatures and high humidity. Obviously, by trimming the foliage we will remove the diseased parts, but an installed disease is much harder to fight. There are all kinds of pesticides on the market to fight foliar diseases for grass species, but there is no target for lawn. Instead, I found a product that improves the natural resistance of plants. Basically, cupric pesticides can also be used on lawns to prevent diseases, but they are contact, they remain only on the surface of the lawns, and the first watering washes them and is no longer useful. Ferticupper copper is systemic, penetrates the plant, helps metabolic processes and also gives resistance to plants. If administered together with a urea nitrogen fertilizer (eg Abono N) our lawn acquires a darker shade of green.
The dose per foliar application is 0.4% Ferticupper + 0.3% Abono. A break of 3-4 weeks between treatments is recommended.
