Airone SC

ACTION OF AIRONE SC:

AIRONE SC is an innovative product with reliable contact action, which constitutes the first solid line of defence for your crops against fungal and bacterial infections. After application, the product evenly covers the surface of leaves and shoots, creating a durable protective coating on them. It is distinguished by a unique combination of two forms of copper (copper oxychloride and copper hydroxide), which not only rapidly inhibits spore germination but also provides extended protection time for the plant under difficult conditions.

Thanks to the precise release of copper ions, the product effectively blocks the development of pathogens on the plant surface before they penetrate the tissues. It shows the highest effectiveness when used preventively during periods of increased infection pressure, ensuring the development of strong, healthy crops and yields of excellent quality.

CONTENT OF ACTIVE SUBSTANCES:

Copper Cu in the form of copper (II) oxychloride – 10% + copper Cu in the form of copper (II) hydroxide – 10% - 272 g/l (20%)
