Norshield WG copper fungicide, a new wettable granule formulation of the popular Norshield red copper fungicide, is now available from Northern Rivers Rural Buying Service. Keith Fallow, from Nipro Products, says "Growers are excited about using new formulation Norshield WG copper fungicide as it delivers first class disease control in an easy to measure, dust free new WG formulation.
The easy mixing of free flowing wettable granules and the excellent dispersion and suspension in the spray tank make Norshield WG convenient to use.
Due to the small copper particle size and new technology formulation Norshield WG rapidly disperses in the tank and won't "raft" on the surface. "Operators report faster turnaround times as a result."
Norshield WG is easy to measure volumetrically: 560ml in volume = 1kg in weight, meaning less bulk to handle.
Most of the Norshield WG copper particles are below 1 micron in size, this microfine formulation results in up to 50 times more available copper particles compared with most other copper formulations -ensuring the best coverage, retention and effectiveness."
"According to independent trial data, retention is superior to other copper formulations including traditional Bordeaux mixtures. Norshield has been successfully controlling diseases in Australian horticultural crops for 4 years, so has a proven track record."
Norshield WG is a dust-free formulation packed into easy to handle 10kg paper bags - so no containers to triple rinse and dispose of.
High concentration of active ingredient and low application rates result in new formulation Norshield WG being a very cost effective product for superior disease control.
