Copper Oxychloride + Plantomycin (The Ultimate Antibacterial Shield)

Product Description

The combination of Copper Oxychloride (Contact Fungicide/Bactericide) and Plantomycin (Systemic Antibiotic) is a highly potent, double-action solution widely trusted by farmers to halt aggressive bacterial infections in paddy and vegetable crops. By pairing a protective surface barrier with an advanced internal curative antibiotic, this mixture provides complete, 360-degree control against devastating bacterial diseases before they can wipe out your crop yield.

How the Combination Works (Double-Action Power)

This combination works via a highly effective Contact + Systemic dual mode of action:

  • Copper Oxychloride 50% WP (Surface Protection): Forms a durable, rain-resistant layer on the outer surface of the leaf. It releases copper ions ($Cu^{2+}$) that destroy bacterial cells on contact, preventing the disease from spreading to healthy parts of the field.

  • Plantomycin (Internal Cure): Formulated with Streptomycin Sulfate (9%) + Tetracycline Hydrochloride (1%), Plantomycin is a powerful systemic antibiotic. It is rapidly absorbed by the plant foliage and travels through the vascular system to stop bacterial protein synthesis internally, completely neutralizing the active infection inside the plant tissue.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Knockdown Effect on BLB: Effectively controls Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB) and stops the destructive "Kresek" phase (sudden wilting and drying of seedlings) in paddy.

  • Resistance Management: Fungi and bacteria can quickly build resistance to standalone antibiotics. Mixing Copper Oxychloride with Plantomycin prevents pathogens from developing resistance, ensuring long-term field efficacy.

  • Preventative & Curative Action: While Copper Oxychloride prevents new bacterial spores from establishing, Plantomycin actively cures the disease already present within the plant lines.

  • Broad-Spectrum Utility: Also highly effective against Black Rot in crucifers, Bacterial Canker in Citrus, and Bacterial Leaf Spot in Chillies and Tomatoes.

Recommended Dosage & Mixing Guide

For 1 Acre of Paddy crop, mix the following in 200 Liters of clean water:

  • Copper Oxychloride 50% WP: 400 to 500 grams

  • Plantomycin: 24 to 30 grams (typically 4 pouches of 6g or 3 pouches of 10g)

Pro-Tip for Preparation: First, dissolve the required quantity of Plantomycin completely in a small bucket of water to ensure a clear solution. In a separate container, make a smooth paste of Copper Oxychloride with a little water before diluting it. Finally, mix both into the main spray tank with the required volume of water.

Best Application Practices

  1. Application Timing: Spray immediately at the first appearance of water-soaked, translucent lines on leaf margins or right after a heavy rain/wind storm if bacterial diseases are common in your area.

  2. Thorough Foliar Coverage: Use a fine mist spray nozzle. Ensure the spray covers the entire plant canopy uniformly, especially the lower sides of the leaves where pathogens often thrive.

  3. Important Cultural Practice: If you observe Bacterial Leaf Blight symptoms in the field, immediately halt the application of Nitrogenous fertilizers (like Urea). High nitrogen makes plant tissue soft and succulent, allowing the bacteria to multiply at a rapid rate
