Mode of Action

• Protectant fungicide with no curative and systemic action.
• Multisite activity- Cu+2 ions interfere with biomolecules due to its chelating properties, affect protein structures, the the function of enzymes, energy transport systems and membranes.
• Fungal spores and bacteria actively take up Cu+2 ions during the early infection stages. Once toxic concentrations are reached inside the cells, the infection process is stopped
