Copper m. s.

Reliable protection for orchards and vineyards: why choose “Cooper m. s.”

In modern horticulture, combating fungal diseases requires both efficacy and predictable results. The contact fungicide “Cooper m. s.” occupies a specific niche in the agricultural product portfolio, offering growers a time-tested solution based on copper hydroxide. This product is the result of international manufacturing cooperation, combining the standards of the Hungarian company “Peters and Burg Kft.” with the technological capabilities of leading Chinese enterprises (“Yangzhou National Chemical Westzhong Company” and “Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical Co., Ltd.”). The applicant for the product is the “Nertus” brand, whose market reputation in Ukraine guarantees that the declared composition matches the actual content of the active ingredient.

Specific action and application

The primary task of “Cooper m. s.” is to create a protective barrier on the plant surface. As a contact fungicide, it blocks pathogen development before they can penetrate plant tissues. Its application is justified and highly effective against such dangerous threats as:

• Peach leaf curl: a critically important disease for stone fruits requiring preventive treatment.
• Grape downy mildew: a systemic threat that, if left uncontrolled, can destroy a grape harvest within weeks.

Practical usage recommendations

The product is supplied as a suspension concentrate, which ensures convenient preparation of the working solution and its uniform distribution over the leaf surface. To achieve maximum biological efficacy, the following parameters should be considered:

• Application rate: 2–4 liters of the product per hectare (depending on the level of infection and the crop growth stage).
• Frequency of application: up to 3–4 applications per season are permitted.
• Waiting period: the regulated time between the last application and harvest is 20–30 days, which must be taken into account when planning harvesting activities.

The product’s hazard class (Class 3) requires adherence to basic safety measures when handling pesticides. “Cooper m. s.” remains a sought-after tool in the agronomist's arsenal due to its predictable performance and its ability to be integrated into protection schemes requiring a reliable copper-based contact component.
