MicroN Cu 15% EDTA
Chelated copper that feeds the crop and stiffens its natural defences.
MicroN Cu 15% EDTA is a fully soluble, EDTA-chelated copper corrector. Copper does two jobs at once: it runs the enzymes of photosynthetic electron transport, and it drives the lignification that gives stems their strength and makes tissue physically harder for a pathogen to penetrate. Cereals on peaty, sandy or heavily limed soils respond most visibly — deficiency there shows as white, twisted leaf tips and poor grain set.
Characteristics
- 15% copper, fully EDTA-chelated and 100% water soluble
- Corrects white tip and poor grain set in cereals
- Drives lignification — stronger stems, better standing power
- Strengthens the plant's own physical resistance to disease
- Nutritional rate, far below a copper fungicide rate — no phytotoxicity risk at label dose
- Suitable for fertigation and foliar application
How it works
Copper is the metal centre of plastocyanin in photosynthetic electron transport and of the polyphenol oxidases that build lignin. Deficiency is a classic problem of organic, sandy and over-limed soils. Note that this is a nutritional product at a nutritional rate — it is not a substitute for a copper fungicide.

Doses are indicative. The user is responsible for adjusting the dose to the growth stage of the crop and the conditions of the field. Apply under the guidance of an agricultural technician. Composition, method of application and dose may vary between countries for climatic, technical or legal reasons.
