Cuprital700-Fungicida-Bactericida-Multissitio-Raiz-300px.pngThe company Ascenza Brasil, owned by the Portuguese group Rovensa, received authorization for the use of protective multisite fungicide/bactericide Cuprital 700 in fruits and vegetables, in addition to large crops.

The product, formulated based on Copper Oxychloride (Cu+2), is now favored for tomatoes, potatoes, peanuts, mangoes, onions, papayas, and grapes.

According to agronomist Patrícia Cesarino, from the marketing and development department at Ascenza Brasil, the keyword for the Cuprital 700 is to be “multi”. “We highlight its multisite action, attacking different points of fungi from the most varied cultures. Still, it can be applied in different ways such as aerial or terrestrial. That is multi-advantageous,” she reported.

The protective multisite fungicide reduces the risk of pathogen resistance development in a preventive way. Among the targets are Asian Rust in soybeans, bacteriosis in wheat, warts, melanosis and black spot in citrus, anthracnose in mango, and late blight in tomatoes and potatoes.

The product acts on different points, or sites, of the fungi, a characteristic that is precisely one of the tools that should impact the resistance of these organisms. “This is a great risk mitigation tool for the emergence of pathogens resistant to specific fungicides and improving the efficiency of populations already resistant to specific fungicides,” she pointed out.


Cobre-minerio.pngThe concentration of copper oxychloride is 1,196.8 g/L, equivalent to 700 g/L of metallic copper, making it the fungicide in this line with the highest mineral concentration in Brazil in a liquid formulation, which greatly facilitates operations in the field. This results in a lower dose and often lower cost per hectare, benefiting the producer in handling, dosing, and packaging disposal. It can also be applied in mixtures with site-specific fungicides.

The Concentrated Suspension (SC) for which the product was developed, facilitates its dilution at the time of application, even in smaller volumes, maintaining the essential characteristics of copper, thus delivering more efficiency and practicality when preparing the mixture and application. In addition, the copper particles, around 1.5 microns, are very small in size, which provides a better quality of sheet surface coverage and, therefore, a better protective effect.

Another novelty is that Cuprital has received the IBD seal (Biodynamic Institute for Rural Development). “This is a certification that producers of organic crops can also use,” the Ascenza professional said in conclusion.
