CHELACOP Micronutrient Fertilizers

It has been conclusively demonstrated that copper deficient plants respond quickly to foliar sprays with Chelated Copper.

Causes of Copper deficiency
Certain types of soil and the alkanised effect of irrigation waters can cause copper deficiency in plants. For example, leached acid and sandy soils, alkaline and calcareous soil, especially sandy types, and heavily nitrogen-fertilized soils. All crops grown in such soils - cereals, vegetables and fruits - will show symptoms of copper deficiency.

How to recognize copper deficiency ?
Symptoms of copper deficiency vary according to plant species, stage of growth and other factors. Some general symptoms are discolouration and bleaching of leaves, retarded growth, dwarfing, poor heading, empty ears, bluish green foliage, wilting and drooping of leaves in peas and tobacco, splitting and dropping of fruit, stunting in vegetables. Detailed symptoms have been detailed earlier in this handbook.

Synthetically chelated for easy absorption, CHELACOP is an organo-copper complex which effectively fulfills copper requirements of plants. CHELACOP is absorbed through leaves and being an organo-metallic complex, is not free to react with any other compound in plants and remains available to the plant for a long time.
