The combination of Copper Oxychloride and Kasugamycin is a broad-spectrum, dual-action agricultural fungicide and bactericide. It combines a systemic antibiotic (Kasugamycin) with a protective, contact-based fungicide (Copper Oxychloride) to manage a wide range of bacterial and fungal diseases in various crops.
Key Functions
Systemic + Contact Action: Kasugamycin is absorbed systemically by the plant to inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria, while Copper Oxychloride forms a protective film on the surface to kill fungal spores upon contact.
Preventive and Curative: It acts as a preventative measure by forming a barrier against new infections and as a curative treatment for existing diseases.
Disease Resistance Management: Its dual, multi-site mode of action reduces the likelihood of pathogens developing resistance compared to using single-site fungicides.
Enhanced Adhesion: The formula has good adhesive properties, making it resilient to wash-off by rain.
