The copper in CHELAL® KUBIG is completely chelated and the product was conceived for foliar applications only. CHELAL® KUBIG is a positively charged chelate and thus guarantees a slow and continuous copper absorption. CHELAL® KUBIG is a copper-based fertiliser.

The specific nature of CHELAL® KUBIG allows for the copper to be incorporated inSAR-proteins (SAR: Systemic Acquired Resistance) and hence to increase the plant’s self-defence. CHELAL® KUBIG stimulates the natural self-defence mechanism of the plant.

Copper takes part in the biosynthesis of lignins and consequently increases the physical resistance of the plant. It also is part of polyphenoloxydase, an enzyme regulating the equilibrium between plant hormones and acting in cell lignification, fruit colouring and -above all- increasing the plant’s self-defence against external attacks. Moreover, copper activates the synthesis of phytoalexines. Copper is an integrated part of proteins that form Systemic Acquired Resistance in the plant.

Attention: since copper can have a toxic action and substantial amounts of applied coppercan affect plant growth negatively, application doses and maximum concentration -as indicated on the label- should be respected.

CHELAL® KUBIG is miscible with most pesticides and herbicides. Avoid mixing with oil-based products. It is advisable to conduct a miscibility test before application. In case of doubt, consult our technical service.
