Product Information

IQV: IQV was born in 1935 in Barcelona as a family business. Present in more than 60 countries, we currently have more than 450 phytosanitary records worldwide and are part of the MAT Holding business group, active in the agriculture and water management sectors.

At IQV, we are specialists in fungicides with a powerful bactericidal effect and we know first-hand the needs of the sector thanks to our profile and agro-industrial vocation. We know what has led us here—the use of copper—an element originating from nature that, synthesized, is considered one of the best and most used fungicides of bactericidal effect in history. A diplomatic source present at the meeting confirmed to EURACTIV.com that the Commission decided to table a new proposal taking into account all the submissions from the member states. On the other hand, and as a result of our experience in the manufacture of copper-based products, we diversify our offer to other product categories by incorporating a line of additives for animal feed. Fungicides are generally not harmful to bees. However, it’s best not to spray when bees are actively foraging on plants. Never apply copper fungicide on very hot days.You may have a problem with some very choice or valuable seed. In this case the salvaged seedlings should be kept in the intensive care unit! They should be potted individually into small pots of moistened compost and segregated from other plants. They should be kept warm and sprayed over with a mister regularly to keep the leaves turgid. Drench the compost of a few with copper fungicide and leave the rest alone. This treatment combined with a good growing environment should allow the roots to start growing rapidly, and you may, by this means, be able to salvage a proportion of the plants. ChrisR wrote:.but Google "copper fungicide germination" and there are loads of scientific papers and aticles on the subject. Many of which mention it's toxicity and germination. The table below shows a number of possible alternatives (conventional and organic) to copper sulfate. A major challenge is finding an alternate that matches copper’s toxicity to plant pathogens, broad spectrum activity, and cost: Esco (the French Collective on Scientific Expertise) in 2018 conducted an extensive review of these techniques. “None of them alone has the overall effect of copper and their effectiveness is uncertain depending on the spreading conditions or the weather,” recognizes Didier Andrivon, researcher for the French National Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE). Products have been grouped according to their use and then alphabetically by active ingredient. Weedkillers/herbicides

In the US, copper compounds are permitted for both conventional and organic use. For California, copper is by far the most commonly applied active ingredient against fungus (it’s mainly used on wine grape leaves and as an anti-algicide in rice). At a little over 400,000 acres a year, it beats quinoxyfen (at about 280,000 acres), pyrachlostrobin, boscalid and tebuconazole (all three at about 250,000 acres), according to the state’s Department of Pesticide Control. Nationwide, about 400,000 pounds of copper hydroxide is used on grapes (it’s registered for any crop), representing about 65 percent of all wine grapes grown in the US, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, about 100,000 pounds of copper sulfate pentahydrate is used (about 15 percent of grape crops). Copper sulfate.
