ecocopper 375 WG Organic Fungicide
Ecocopper 375 WG formulation contains 375g/kg Copper oxychloride. Ecocopper is produced in Europe using the most stringent environmental processes. It protects many crops against disease like downy mildew, leaf curl, anthracnose, black spots and rust. Ecocopper is produced using what is known as fluid bed technology to ensure each granule is extremely uniform and formed in a way to maximise solubility, dispersibility and minimisation of dust in bags.
- Excellent solubility and dispersion
- Greater copper stability under wider pH range – lower phytotoxicity to the crop due to less “dumping” of copper
- Less phytotoxic and longer lasting than cupric hydroxide
- Optimised particle size distribution and shape for greater leaf coverage and contact with bacteria and fungi
- Registered organic
Active Constituent: 375g/kg Copper present as copper oxychloride
Ecocopper is a preventative fungicide so works best when applied to the crop prior to infection or can be used to protect new leaves during an infection event. Copper is a multi-site fungicide making it difficult for disease to develop resistance and is therefore a very effective Registered Organic Fungicide. Copper oxychloride is also very versatile because it provides both rapid copper release from the Cu(OH)2 component and slower release from the CuCl2. This provides both upfront protection and longer term protection plus rainfastness with lower burn potential.

Ecocopper can be used with most insecticides including emulsions and spraying oils. Do not mix with alkaline materials, such as Lime Sulfur, or with products containing calcium.
Do not use ecocopper in spraying equipment which could be expected to cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pasture.
