Cuproxat 34.5 SC – The Next Generation Liquid Copper Technology

Cuproxat 34.5 SC by DJC Ltd is a premium liquid formulation of Tribasic Copper Sulphate, engineered to outperform traditional copper powders. While standard copper oxychloride has large particles that wash away easily, Cuproxat features ultra-fine, sub-micron particles that provide a “gapless” coating on the leaf. This innovative SC formulation ensures that copper ions are released in two stages: an immediate burst for rapid knockdown and a “depot effect” for long-lasting residual protection.

Why Cuproxat 34.5 SC Beats Traditional Copper Powders:

• Superior Coverage: 80% of Cuproxat particles are less than 1 micron. Smaller particles mean better adhesion and more “killing sites” for fungi and bacteria.
• Extreme Rainfastness: Its special sticky coating ensures that once the spray dries, it stays on the plant even through heavy dew or rain.
• Bacterial Specialist: Unlike many fungicides that only target fungi, Cuproxat is a potent bactericide, making it essential for Bacterial Leaf Blight and Citrus Canker.
• Easy to Use: No more clogged nozzles! The liquid SC formulation pours easily and stays suspended in the spray tank longer than wettable powders.

Recommended Application & Dosage

Expert Tip: For Paddy BLB, apply Cuproxat at the very first sign of infection (water-soaked streaks). Coverage is key! Ensure you spray to the point just before runoff for the most consistent protective barrier. Technical support provided by PARC.

Expert Questions & Answers

Q: Is Cuproxat safer for plants than Copper Oxychloride?
A: Yes. Because of its neutral pH and optimized particle size, Cuproxat is generally gentler on plant tissues, even in hotter and drier conditions compared to older copper formulations.

Q: Can I mix Cuproxat with other fertilizers?
A: Cuproxat mixes well with most foliar fertilizers and plant strengtheners. However, always check the pH of the mix and avoid highly acidic products.

Q: Does it control Powdery Mildew?
A: While copper has some effect on powdery mildew, Cuproxat is most effective against Downy Mildew and Bacterial diseases. For powdery mildew, we recommend combining it with a sulfur-based product.

Q: What is the PHI for vegetables?
A: Generally, the PHI is between 7 to 14 days for most vegetables, but for grapes, it can be up to 21 days. Always refer to the specific crop label for safety.”
