Dora CopeX introduces an innovative copper bactericide formula, blending copper ions with chitosan oligosaccharides to both stimulate growth and safeguard crop health. This powerful copper-based bactericide ensures dual benefits with a single application, promising effectiveness without adverse effects.
Designed to combine chitosan oligosaccharides with copper ions, Dora CopeX excels in preventing and managing both leaf and soil-borne bacterial plant diseases, showcasing promising application prospects. Although it possesses a specific bactericidal spectrum, targeting mainly fungi responsible for downy mildew, phytophthora, powdery mildew, and cotton phytophthora, it remains a cornerstone for controlling a variety of bacterial plant diseases.
Using Dora CopeX as a preventive measure or treatment against bacterial plant diseases can significantly enhance leaf and soil health, making it a vital tool for managing plant diseases effectively.
Features of CopeX Copper Bactericide
- It offers a broad spectrum of compatibility and can be mixed and used with most fungicides, insecticides, and plant growth regulators.
- The bactericidal spectrum is wide, offering relative safety and reliability, and it is unlikely to cause phytotoxicity.
- Copper ions and chitooligosaccharides provide dual sterilization with high efficiency, causing no harm to flowers and fruits, making it suitable for use in all stages of plant growth.
- It contains a low copper content, resulting in low residue, low pollution, and is environmentally friendly.
- It can promote the absorption of iron ions, aluminum ions, and other elements, contributing to seedling strengthening.
- It is unlikely to cause or stimulate the occurrence of mites and scale insects.
Why Our Copper Bactericide
The traditional copper bactericide works by attaching copper ions directly to the surface of bacteria. In contrast, the chelated copper contained in Dora CopeX is transported across the membrane into the bacterial body. As bacteria decompose the chelated copper while absorbing organic matter, contact with copper ions leads to the denaturation of cellular proteins.
How to Use Copper Bactericide
Dora CopeX can be used in both foliar spray and root irrigation. For foliar spray, use a 300-500x dilution; for root irrigation, use a 1000x dilution.
Field Trial
The tested tomato variety is ‘Pink’, and the test product, CopeX, is a chitosan oligosaccharide formula chelated with copper trace elements, provided by Suzhou Dora Agritech Co., Ltd.
The experiment took place in the greenhouse of the Changshu Agricultural Science & Technology Park in Jiangsu Province. The tomato seedlings were grown using plugs, with sowing on July 16, 2021, and planting on August 23, 2021. A foam block and coconut chaff composite substrate were used for frame-type cultivation. Four treatment groups were established in the experiment:
- Group A: Control Group (CK),
- Group B: CopeX (500 times dilution),
- Group C: CopeX (300 times dilution),
- Group D: Pesticides (Normal Management).
After planting the tomatoes, the plants were sprayed on the leaves once every 14 days, for a total of three times. The rest of the management followed conventional production practices. Groups A, B, and C did not use any fungicides or pesticide products.
