Corteva Kocide Fungicide

Contact Protectant Fungicide for Fungal and Bacterial Disease Control

Corteva Kocide Fungicide is a broad-spectrum contact protectant fungicide formulated with Copper Hydroxide 53.8% w/w DF, equivalent to 35% metallic copper. It is used for managing important fungal and bacterial diseases in crops such as potato, grapes, paddy and chilli when applied as per label recommendation.

Kocide works as a protective fungicide by forming a copper-based shield on the plant surface. Its fine and uniform particle size supports better mixing, improved suspension, even crop coverage and rainfast protection. This helps farmers protect crops during important disease-sensitive stages.

Copper Hydroxide Fungicide for Preventive Crop Protection

Many fungal and bacterial diseases spread quickly when crop conditions are humid, wet or cloudy. Corteva Kocide helps protect the crop surface before disease infection becomes severe. Its multi-site activity helps reduce the chances of resistance development and supports a stronger disease management program.

How Corteva Kocide Works on Diseases

Kocide releases copper ions on the plant surface. These copper ions affect important enzymes, membranes and proteins of disease-causing pathogens. This multi-site action helps disrupt infection and provides preventive protection against listed fungal and bacterial diseases.

Because it is a contact fungicide, proper spray coverage is very important. Uniform coverage on the crop canopy helps create better protection on leaves, stems, fruits and disease-prone plant parts.
