Dual active ingredients and multi-site mode of action
Cuprofix Disperss combines an inorganic copper compound with a multi-site dithiocarbamate in a dust-free water-dispersible granule (WDG).
Copper ions (Cu2+) penetrate fungal and bacterial cells, denaturing structural proteins and disrupting cellular enzyme systems. Concurrently, Mancozeb inhibits lipid metabolism and respiration, providing an impenetrable multi-site protective barrier on leaf surfaces that prevents chemical resistance.
- Basic Copper Sulphate (47.15%): Multi-site contact protectant and bactericide releasing active copper ions.
- Mancozeb (30.0% WDG): Multi-site contact dithiocarbamate preventing fungal spore germination.
- Disperss technology: Instant dissolution in water without clumping, tank sedimentation, or spray nozzle clogging.
- Resistance management: Multi-site activity eliminates the risk of pathogens developing chemical tolerance.
Target crops and approved disease spectrum
Cuprofix Disperss is registered across commercial fruit orchards, vegetables, plantation crops, and field agriculture.
It is celebrated for providing dual protection against both fungal blights and destructive bacterial cankers.
- Grapes: Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and anthracnose on canes, foliage, and fruit bunches.
- Citrus: Citrus canker (Xanthomonas axonopodis) and gummosis.
- Pomegranate: Bacterial blight (oily spot / Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae).
- Potato & Tomato: Early blight, late blight, and bacterial leaf spots.
- Apple: Apple scab and blossom blight.
Application timing, foliar coverage, and safety
Apply Cuprofix preventively before disease appearance or upon the earliest forecast of cool, rainy, and high-humidity weather.
Ensure uniform coverage of leaves, stems, and developing fruits using calibrated sprayers operated at container label recommended dilution rates.
- Foliar wetting: Spray thoroughly to coat both upper and lower leaf surfaces with a uniform protective film.
- Tank-mix caution: Avoid mixing with strongly acidic products or organophosphate insecticides that can release excess copper ions.
- Protective measures: Wear protective overalls, chemical-resistant gloves, and eye goggles; respect statutory pre-harvest intervals.
