Copper spraying is one of the most reliable ways to protect plants from diseases. It has been used in agriculture since 1880 and provides effective preventive protection against fungi and bacteria.
Why Choose Copper
Copper forms a protective layer on leaves and branches, preventing the development of diseases. Especially after pruning or when wounds are created on branches, these cuts become easy entry points for pathogenic microorganisms. To prevent such infections, preventive sprays with copper-based formulations are applied. Copper is ideal for preventive treatments and helps plants start the new growing season strong.
When to Apply Copper Sprays
Copper is applied:
- After leaf fall
- During winter
- Early in spring, before plants “wake up”
With proper timing, the risk of infections is significantly reduced.
Suitable Crops
Copper is suitable for:
- Olive trees
- Vineyards
- Fruit trees
- Vegetables
- Ornamental plants
Key Advantages
- Effectively protects against diseases
- Proven long-lasting action
- Approved for use in organic farming
- Easy and safe to use when applied correctly according to the agronomist’s instructions
Main Types of Copper Formulations
There are three main types:
Copper Oxychloride: The least toxic form, used to control a wide range of diseases.
Bordeaux Mixture: Often the most effective solution against pathogens and mainly used during winter. The ratio and timing of application must be carefully managed to avoid phytotoxicity.
Copper Hydroxide: Primarily applied after pruning and early in winter, from leaf fall until the end of February.
Useful Tips
- Always follow the product instructions
