Product BrochureProduct Details:

Copper Sulphate Powder is a fine, dry form of copper sulfate (typically CuSO₄·5H₂O) used as a micronutrient fertilizer, fungicide, and algicide in agriculture. It functions similarly to copper sulfate crystals but is processed into a more easily mixable and dispersible form.
Composition:
Copper (Cu): Approximately 25% elemental copper.
Form: Fine blue powder, usually derived from the crystalline pentahydrate form (CuSO₄·5H₂O).

Key Agricultural Functions:
Micronutrient: Essential for enzyme activity, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and chlorophyll formation.
Disease Control: Acts as a fungicide to protect crops from diseases like mildew, blight, and anthracnose.
Algae Control: Used in water management to eliminate algae in irrigation systems or ponds.

Advantages Over Crystals:
Faster dissolution in water, ideal for spraying and fertigation.
Easier to measure, mix, and store.
Often used in formulations like Bordeaux mixture or ready-mix fungicides.

Common Uses:
Foliar spray: Typically at 0.1%–0.2% concentration (1–2 g per liter of water).
Soil application: For correcting copper-deficient soils (use carefully to avoid toxicity).
Seed treatment and compost enrichment (in low doses).
