Vitra 40 WG

Vitra 40 WG

Vitra 40 WG is a high-quality blue copper fungicide and bactericide designed to control a wide range of plant diseases. It is particularly effective against early and late blight in tomatoes, bacterial blight and downy mildew in cabbages, rust, anthracnose, and angular leaf spots in French beans, as well as coffee berry disease and leaf rust in coffee.

Mode of Action

Vitra 40 WG works by releasing copper ions, which are absorbed by the spores of fungi and bacteria. Once inside the spore, the copper disrupts the enzyme systems of these pathogenic organisms, preventing their growth and proliferation. As a protectant fungicide, Vitra 40 WG must be applied to the crop before the fungal spores begin to germinate to ensure maximum effectiveness.
