Cuprofix Fungicide Mode of Action
Copper Sulphate (47.15%) releases copper ions that denature fungal and bacterial proteins, disrupting enzyme systems and stopping pathogen growth.
Mancozeb (30%) works through multi-site inhibition of fungal metabolism, preventing spore germination and infection establishment.
This dual chemistry ensures strong preventive protection with minimal resistance development.

Fungicidal and Bactericidal: Controls both fungal and certain bacterial infections.
Rain Fastness: Provides effective coverage if spray dries properly (approximately 2–3 hours drying time).
