Enhanced Quality Liquid Copper Fertilizer

Copper is an essential micronutrient for plants, and our fertilizer is formulated to correct a copper deficiency. Copper, as a nutrient, is a vital element needed for crucial processes such as pollen formation, and creation of resilient walls for the plants. This contributes to improved plant structure and strength, reducing lodging risk in cereal crops and enhancing their overall stability.

The strengthened cell walls facilitated by copper, as a nutrient, can help plants withstand wind, heavy rainfall, and other environmental stresses. This reduces crop damage and ensures better resilience.

Adequate copper is shown to support healthy reproductive processes, leading to improved fruit set and crop yield.

Copper enhances fruit quality by influencing flavor, storability, and sugar content. Copper can promote flavorful, long-lasting fruits with desirable sugar levels, satisfying consumer preferences and increasing market value.

 

Copper activates as well enzymes involved in critical metabolic reactions, supports chlorophyll production and enhances photosynthesis, which is essential for all plants.

 

Copper is known as a contact killer of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

Crops such as beets, carrots, onions, spinach, sunflower, and tomato are high copper-requiring plants that are sensitive to low copper levels in the soil.  Cereal grains may also show deficiency symptoms in copper-deficient soils.

The average concentration of copper in soils is 30 ppm. Higher pH increases the strength by which soil clay holds copper and organic matter.  High soil concentrations of aluminum, iron, nitrogen, phosphorus, and zinc can depress copper absorption by roots causing copper deficiency symptoms in plants. 

 

Severe copper deficiencies in cereal grain can result in reduced vigor and yield decreases. Fertilization with copper should be used when plant analysis confirms a copper deficiency.  

Copper fertilization is likely needed in soils with high levels of peat or organic matter, sandy soils, high pH soils, and soils with high levels of oxides and carbonates. When copper is deficient, common plant responses to a copper application are reduced disease, increased crop growth, and improved quality.

Copper is a fundamental element commonly used in agriculture in a nutritional way to control phytopathogens. As plants grow, they need copper to achieve a balance in the right concentrations. 

Copper has two functions, to correct and to prevent typical plant diseases. The most common diseases caused by fungi include:

  • Mildew: This attacks a large number of species, including cucurbit crops and grapevines. Its symptoms and lesions are mainly seen on the leaves with light green polygonal spots that will undergo necrosis.

  • Scab: This affects various species such as apple trees, pear trees, etc. The symptoms are black or brownish-grey spots on the leaves, buds or fruit.

  • Anthracnose: This disease attacks various species of nightshades, almond trees and grapevines. The symptoms include the appearance of brown circular spots on the leaves and close to the nerves, which will undergo necrosis.

Copper Fertilizer Solution

The availability and sufficiency of copper in the soil is essential to strong, healthy growth and high yields. Copper supports photosynthesis, structural strength, respiration, enzymatic processes, pollen virility, carbohydrate and protein metabolism.
