Benefits Of Airone 20SC
1. Comprehensive Protection
Airone provides a dual action against both fungal and bacterial diseases, making it an essential product for modern agricultural practices. Its formulation inhibits spore germination and blocks pathogen respiration processes, ensuring effective disease management.
2. Enhanced Copper Bioavailability
The unique synthesis process creates copper microparticles that are perfectly sized (less than one micron), significantly increasing their effectiveness against bacteria. This results in better absorption and action on target pathogens, leading to improved crop health.
3. Quick and Long-Lasting Action
-
Copper Hydroxide: Offers rapid action to control active infections.
-
Copper Oxychloride: Provides long-lasting protective effects, ensuring extended disease prevention.
4. Lower Dosage For Better Performance
Airone is designed to deliver superior results with lower application rates (140 to 160 ml per acre), making it a cost-effective solution for farmers. This feature also minimizes the environmental impact compared to other products that require higher doses.
