- NTCAN™ Amino-CuGrow is a novel, highly effective multifunctional (biofertilizer and fungicide) complex that is biodegradable, non-toxic, completely organic, and environmentally friendly. This stable organic chelate compound of copper (Cu2+) with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) can be used as a stand-alone mineral fertilizer or as a base for specialized fertilizers, depending on the intended purpose.
- NTCAN™ Amino-CuGrow is a highly versatile and effective solution for sustainable agriculture, promoting plant health, growth, and protection while being environmentally responsible
- NTCAN™ Amino-CuGrow aqueous solutions are stable over a wide range of pH (3-8) and temperatures, completely organic, and do not contain stabilizing additives harmful to plants and the environment (EDTA, etc.).
- NTCAN™ Amino-CuGrow complex provides a high level of copper absorption and nutrition with an energy-efficient form of sulfur and nitrogen, as well as biocidal plant protection against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
- Due to its low molecular weight (< 400 Da), and being an electrically neutral amino chelate (which is not repelled by the negatively charged surface of the leaf), NTCAN™ Amino-CuGrow ensures high digestibility of the complex components by plants, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the consumption of copper in the fertilizer.
- NTCAN™ Amino-CuGrow ensures more optimal absorption of nitrates (NO3+ and NH4+) due to the fact that the plant does not require additional energy to convert absorbed nitrogen into amino acids. Biostimulation is enhanced by the synergistic positive effect of NAC and copper ions.
- NTCAN™ Amino-CuGrow acts as:
– biostimulant (biofertilizer): stimulates existing enzymes in plants and increases the availability of calcium, iron, manganese, nitrogen, sulfur, and other essential nutrients critical for chlorophyll production, which in turn allows plants to absorb more energy from light to grow and flowering, have a positive effect on the development and quality of crops.
– allows plants to strengthen their defense mechanisms (strengthen the plant’s immune system by counteracting oxidative stress and the formation of free radicals, which negatively affect the overall growth and vitality of fruits and flowers, and as a result increase productivity;
– acts as an organic alternative to traditional pesticides because its active ingredients have antimicrobial properties providing biocidal protection of plants against a wide range of pathogens, which reduces or completely eliminates traditional pesticides, which are generally harmful to the environment, and minimizes risks to pollinators and beneficial insects (bees), birds, beetles, wasps, small mammals, etc.).
- NTCAN™ Amino-CuGrow is suitable for use in foliar feeding, in hydroponic systems, and for treating seeds and plant roots. The use of NTCAN™ Amino-CuGrow provides a significant increase in the shelf life of the crop.
