OKYSOL R

Okysol R regulates the metabolic activities of the plant, providing Copper and Sulfur.

Copper is a constituent of many enzymes and is important for Chlorophyll synthesis, while Sulfur affects protein synthesis.

Distributed foliarly, it prevents and reduces copper and sulfur deficiencies by increasing their availability to the plant. It also acts as a coadjuvant in the fight against Oidium, Peronospora, and Hazelnut Eriophyid.

OKYSOL R is an SKL product designed to facilitate the powdery applications of sulfur and copper, in order to facilitate the dosage and mixing operations of the two elements. In fact, the package proposed by SKL contains the right ratio between micronized elemental sulfur and copper in order to obtain the best results and reduce the risk of burns.
Sulfur is an essential element for the growth and development of plants, it is involved in many physiological and biochemical processes, such as the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, enzymes, vitamins, chlorophyll, and sulfur organic compounds. Sulfur also improves the quality of agricultural products, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and nitrogen fixation in legumes.
Sulfur deficiency can cause a reduction in crop yield and quality, as well as visible symptoms such as chlorosis, dwarfism, delayed flowering, and reduced branching.
Only recently has the role of sulfur as a fundamental nutrient for plants been discovered, but it is not a novelty: sulfur is essential for the production of cysteine and methionine, two fundamental amino acids for the synthesis of many proteins. All enzymes require sulfur, which is essential for carbon dioxide fixation. The element is essential for chlorophyll synthesis (although it is not a constituent of chlorophyll), it is involved in the composition of vitamins (coenzyme A, biotin, and thiamine in vitamin B1), it is required by some membrane lipids, and it is involved in many redox reactions in cells. It also plays a key role in stress resistance.

Copper (cupric oxide) is an essential micronutrient for the life of plants and animals, which performs many biological functions. If deficient, crops can suffer from growth and quality problems. Copper is involved in various metabolic processes, such as carbohydrate and nitrogen synthesis, cell wall formation, electron transport, and oxidation reactions. Copper also influences the structure and resistance of plant cells, which are important for defense against parasites.
In addition to being an efficient fertilizer for many agricultural crops, OKYSOL R also represents a valid alternative to the use of chemical substances in the control of major agricultural diseases, so much so that it is recommended in biological defense protocols.
