CALIBUR® - Special Mechanism to Combat Bacterial Diseases

CALIBUR®

For a long time, bacterial diseases have brought severely damage to various crops planting, and copper based bactericide have been the major and effective solutions against the diseases. There are quite some copper bactericides available in the market including inorganic and organic ones, while most of them are restricted in practical application for causing phytotoxicity or unsatisfying result, due to the possible improper dosage or application period. Is there such an environmental-friendly copper fungicide with excellent efficacy, safe in application, economic and practical that you can find? The answer is affirmative.

CALIBUR® copper hydrochloride fungicide has been registered for 15 diseases on 12 crops in China, and practically it has been used for more than 60 crops against 30 more diseases with almost no restrictions and outstanding result. The product has been awarded as “National Key New Product” by Ministry of Science and Technology of China and State Economic and Trade Commission of China, and“High-Tech Product” Science Technology Department of Province, it also has been awarded the first prize for technology invention by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association.

Mode of Action

CALIBUR^® bio copper fungicide has both systemic treatment and prevention function, it has special efficacy against bacterial diseases of crops like rice, fruit trees, vegetables and others, which is better than most existing bactericides, also it’s highly effective against fungal diseases.

Thiazole groups are highly effective therapeutic agents in plants.

When thiazole groups enter plant's pitted vessel, bacteria will be severely damaged. It makes the plant’s cell wall becoming thinner and then disintegrated, thus causing the death of bacteria. Some of the bacteria in the other two vessels in the plant (spiral vessel and annular vessel) are affected, with their cells not dividing, and thus the disease is controlled.

Copper ions have both fungicidal and bactericidal effects.

The copper ion in CALIBUR® is exchanged with the cations (H +, K +, etc.) on the surface of the cell membrane of pathogens, causing the protein to coagulate and kill the pathogens. Some copper ions penetrate into pathogens cell and combine with certain enzymes to disturb their activity, leading to dysfunction and the death of pathogens.

In a word, with the combined action of the two groups, CALIBUR® can treat bacteria and fungal diseases more thoroughly with excellent efficacy, broad spectrum and long duration.

Unique Advantages

Unique mechanism: Featuring dual bactericidal mechanism, it has not only the thiazole groups with unique therapeutic effect on bacteria, but also has copper ions with excellent prevention function on bacteria and fungi, so the efficacy is obviously better than usual bacterial fungicides.

High efficiency: Featuring excellent performance, fast action, and strong systemic conductivity (can be used for root treatment), it has an excellent protection (prevention) and treatment effect. At the usual dosage, the duration of efficacy can last 10-14 days.

High safety: It has an extremely low toxicity (LD50>5050mg/kg), and can be used in all growth stages of crops under usual concentrations. It is safe for human, livestock, fish, birds, bees, silkworms and natural enemies, with low residue and no pollution to the environment. CALIBUR® is even registered for use on flower and peach trees.

Strong mixing compatibility：It can be mixed with most fungicides, insecticides, PGR, and foliar fertilizers, which saves labor in practical applications.

Broad spectrum: It has special efficacy against bacterial diseases and high efficacy against fungal diseases. It can be used against 30 more diseases for various crops.

Advanced technology: Featuring ultrafine suspension concentrate, it has high suspensibility, good dispersibility and strong adhesion.

None resistance: It can be used throughout the year, without causing pests like red spiders to re-emerge due to proliferation. It will not occur any resistance for repeated uses.

Synergism: Easy to be absorbed by crops, it can effectively supplement copper ions, promote crop growth, and make leaves green, which will make harvested fruits and vegetables brightly colored, and their quality significantly improved.
