Vitra 40 WG

Mode of Action

Copper ions are absorbed by fungal and bacterial spores as they grow. Once absorbed, copper disrupts
the enzyme system of the pathogenic organisms. It is a protectant fungicide therefore it must be deposited
on the crop before the fungal spores begin to germinate.

blight in tomato; bacterial blight and downy mildew in cabbages; rust, anthracnose and angular
leafspots in French bean; coffee leaf rust and coffee berry disease in coffee.
