Nutri-Key Copper Shuttle™

Chelated copper with backup from all other nutrients reduces copper-based tie-ups, ie. copper-induced zinc deficiency.

Copper is a cell strengthener and fungi fighter. The Shuttle™ system delivers copper in a highly plant available chelated form. Copper Shuttle™ offers chelated copper in a balanced formulation which covers the full spectrum of 'background nutrition'.

Packaging.

  • 1 litre (1.385kg), 5 litres (6.775kg), 20 litres (527.2kg), 200 litres (283kg), 1000 litres (1380kg).
    Weight per volume: 1.33

Information:

  • Features all of the standard Shuttle benefits, including bio stimulation and ongoing chelation.
  • Copper is buffered with organics to reduce unwanted damage to soil and leaf life.

The Functions of Copper

  • Essential to many enzyme systems, particularly those associated with grain, seed and fruit formation.
    Important for water movement in the plant.
  • A key component in many proteins.
  • Essential for chlorophyll formation and associated photosynthesis.
  • Regulates elasticity, ie it has a marked effect on the formation and composition of cell walls. Important for strong, flexible stems.
  • Vitally important for root metabolism.
  • Helps prevent development of chlorosis rosetting and dieback.
