Introduction
Copper C is a combination fungicide from Panchkhal Beej Bhandar that pairs the systemic activity of Metalaxyl with the broad protective action of Copper Oxychloride. This combination is particularly effective against downy mildew and late blight, offering both preventive and curative protection for a range of important crops.
How It Works
Metalaxyl is selectively absorbed into plant tissue where it inhibits RNA polymerase in oomycete pathogens, halting protein synthesis and killing the pathogen systemically. Copper Oxychloride acts on the crop surface by releasing copper ions that denature fungal enzymes and disrupt the cell membrane, providing a protective shield.
Key Benefits
- Combines systemic (Metalaxyl) and contact (Copper) modes of action
- Copper component also provides micronutrient benefit to the crop
- Highly effective against Phytophthora and Peronospora species
- Long field experience — proven reliability across Nepal
- Works well in cool and wet conditions when disease risk is highest
