Agro-Cu OP is activated by Oligo Prime®, an innovative biostimulant technology that allows for quick absorption and translocation of nutrients and reinforces the plant’s natural defenses against abiotic stresses (drought, low temperature, salinity, etc.). Agro-Cu OP can be applied to all crops based on soil or tissue analyses or as soon as deficiency symptoms appear. For more information on Agro-Cu OP, consult your agronomic adviser.
Copper acts as a catalyst in many of the plant’s physiological processes, particularly in the transport chain of electrons occurring during photosynthesis (75% of the leaf’s total copper content is present in the chloroplast), the synthesis of lignin in cell walls, oxidation reactions of ascorbic acid, cellular breathing, and in pollen vitality and fertility. In cases of copper deficiency, one observes a global metabolic dysfunction of the plant and stunted growth.
Copper activates the transformation of nitrates absorbed in the process of protein synthesis. The result of its action translates into an increase in proteins. A good supply of copper allows the plant to improve its natural ability to defend against many adverse actions or conditions. Copper activity is reinforced by the citric acid which improves photosynthesis, energy production, and resistance to stress.
Agro-Cu OP can be used on a variety of crops according to agronomic recommendations and the specific needs of the fields.
