Anand Agro Instacheal Copper (Cu) 12% is an EDTA-chelated micronutrient fertilizer containing 12% copper. It helps supply essential copper nutrition to crops, supports enzyme activity, chlorophyll-related processes, protein synthesis and plant structural development. The product is suitable for foliar spraying, soil drenching and drip irrigation as recommended by the manufacturer.

Product Details

Technical Composition

Key Benefits

• Helps Correct Copper Deficiency: Supplies copper where crop nutrition is inadequate.
• Supports Enzyme Activity: Copper is involved in several enzyme systems essential for normal plant development.
• Supports Chlorophyll-Related Processes: Helps maintain the biochemical functions required for healthy foliage and photosynthesis.
• Protein Metabolism: Supports physiological processes involved in protein formation.
• Plant Structural Strength: Copper contributes to lignin formation, which supports the strength of stems and shoots.
• Healthy Crop Development: Helps maintain normal growth when copper deficiency is present.
• EDTA Chelation: Helps maintain copper solubility under suitable conditions for nutrient application.

Suitable Crops

Instacheal Copper can be considered for agricultural and horticultural crops that require copper supplementation, subject to the original product label. Copper is an essential micronutrient for cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, fruit crops and other cultivated plants.

The manufacturer does not provide a specific crop-wise application list on the referenced page. Use according to crop nutrient requirements and confirm copper deficiency wherever possible.

Symptoms of Copper Deficiency

• Discoloration or bleaching of leaves.
• Reduced leaf size and stunted plant growth.
• Weak shoot and stem development.
• Poor development of growing tissues.
• Fruit splitting or premature fruit drop in some crops where copper deficiency is involved.

Important: These symptoms can also occur because of other nutrient imbalances, environmental stress or crop disorders. Confirm the underlying cause before applying copper.

Dosage and Application

Foliar Spray Tank Dosage

Dosage Note: The spray tank quantities are calculated from the manufacturer's recommended concentration of 0.5–1 g per litre.

How to Apply

1. Fill the spray tank partially with clean water.
2. Measure the recommended quantity of Instacheal Copper.
3. Add the product to water and mix until properly dissolved.
4. Add the remaining water and spray uniformly over crop foliage.
5. For drenching or drip irrigation, use the recommended per-acre dosage and follow the original label and irrigation system instructions.

Best Application Time

Apply when copper deficiency is identified or when copper supplementation is recommended as part of a crop nutrition programme. The manufacturer provides application rates but does not specify a universal crop growth stage, repeat interval or maximum number of applications.

For foliar spraying, avoid strong midday sunlight, high winds and imminent rainfall.

How Instacheal Copper Works

Copper is an essential micronutrient involved in oxidation-reduction reactions, enzyme activity and important plant metabolic processes. It contributes to lignin synthesis, protein metabolism and normal photosynthetic function.

Instacheal Copper supplies copper in EDTA-chelated form. Chelation can help keep copper soluble under suitable conditions, supporting its availability during application.

Product performance depends on the crop's nutrient status, soil conditions, application method and dosage. Because crops require copper only in small quantities, excessive application should be avoided.

Compatibility and Precautions

• Use only the recommended dosage; excessive copper can be toxic to plants.
• Confirm copper deficiency wherever possible before treatment.
• Use clean water and dissolve the product thoroughly.
• Check tank-mix compatibility before combining with pesticides or other fertilizers.
• Do not use this nutrient fertilizer as a substitute for a registered copper fungicide.
• Avoid spraying during strong sunlight or stressful weather conditions.
• Wear appropriate protective equipment while handling and spraying.
• Store according to the original manufacturer's label and keep away from children and animals.
