ORANGE 500

Orange 500 SC is the best product available based on Copper, formulated in "Concentrated Suspension".

The red Cuprous Oxide (Cu₂O) is produced in our facilities in Italy through a catalytic oxidation process. The particle size is extremely small, with an average value below 1 micron.

The suspended nano-particles contained in Orange 500 SC adhere perfectly to the surface of the treated plants. Its high performance allows, with a low dosage, to obtain the best results; this translates into economic savings and reduced environmental impact.

Orange 500 SC is a unique product for its high adhesiveness and activity in adverse weather conditions; it provides nourishment and protection by forming an extremely thin barrier against fungal and bacterial attacks on the contact surface.

A proper supply of Copper in plants:

• improves the formation of flowers and seeds;
• stimulates the metabolism of Carbohydrates and Nitrogen;
• stimulates reproductive and photosynthetic processes;
• increases the content of sugars, color, and aroma in fruits and vegetables;
• activates enzymes;
• plays an indirect role in chlorophyll production;
• influences lignification and xylem formation.

Orange 500 SC, mixed with mineral oils and water, can be used to protect citrus woods from important diseases such as Phytophthora citrophthora. Furthermore, this highly synergistic formulation also provides excellent coverage and long-lasting protection against the most common pest attacks on all crops.
