ZEOCOP® is an advanced formulation developed by Manica S.p.A. to deliver modern, effective and sustainable crop protection with a low content of copper and with an incredible high efficacy.
The innovation of the product is the exclusive, patented CRC Technology that stands for Controlled Release Copper® , which combines the active ingredient with an inorganic matrix of micronized tectosilicates. The copper is embedded directly within the crystalline structure, enabling a gradual and prolonged release of the active substance on the crop.
This controlled-release mode of action ensures a consistent, long-lasting protective barrier against major fungal and bacterial pathogens, optimizing the use of copper during the season.
Furthermore ZEOCOP® creates a thin mineral matrix, an invisible film that is able to absorb humidity on the surface of the treated crop. This physical barrier can also make the plant less hospitable for soft-bodied insects: an accessory mechanical effect that complements the fungicidal action.
ZEOCOP® specialized formulation provides exceptional adherence and resistance to wash-off. Thanks to the very low PHI it enables the application of the farmers at the end of the season because it leaves no stains on leaves or fruit and does not interfere with chlorophyll photosynthesis.
Thanks to its extraordinary crop safety, ZEOCOP® can be safely applied even during the most sensitive growth stages across grapes, pome fruit, stone fruit, and tomatoes. Highly versatile, it is ideal for both Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and organic farming programs due to its excellent compatibility with most crop protection products and microorganism-based solutions.
Since 1948 Manica is always ahead on copper fungicides because Manica makes the copper magic and can be considered as one of the major experts in the copper agrochemicals market.
ZEOCOP® will be ahead of any other copper fungicides because we do not more talk about a normal copper fungicide but now we enter in a new copper era: the technology of copper made by Manica!
