Copper Boost
Advanced Soluble Copper Fertilizer Supplement
Copper Boost uses a proprietary method to create a liquid fertilizer based on tribasic copper sulfate to address the correction and prevention of copper deficiencies of various crops.
Efficacy
Effective against copper deficiencies in crops.
Effective against Pytophthora “root rot”, especially peppers (chili and sweet).
Effective against other fungal diseases that are adversely affected by the application of copper.
Chlorophyll production, protein synthesis, and respiration are important plant functions that need copper. A copper deficiency can result in yield reductions. These symptoms can include tip necrosis of older leaves and inhibited unfurling of young leaves. Under severe copper deficiency, the plants growing point may die.
