Product details
Gaintop Fungicide by Coromandel
A copper oxychloride 50% WP fungicide with contact, multi-site activity against susceptible fungal and bacterial disease organisms.
What it contains: Copper oxychloride 50% in a wettable-powder formulation.
How it works: Copper provides contact protection through multi-site activity.
Before purchase or treatment: Check the exact Gaintop label for your crop, disease, quantity, method and harvest interval.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🛡️Protective contact action: Acts where the treatment contacts susceptible disease organisms on treated surfaces.
- 🧪Copper-based chemistry: Contains a defined copper oxychloride active ingredient at 50% WP.
- 🌿Fungal and bacterial scope: Coromandel identifies activity against both fungal and bacterial diseases; individual crop uses still depend on the label.
- 🔬Multi-site activity: Copper affects several processes in susceptible disease organisms rather than a single target site.
- 🔄Recognisable resistance group: FRAC M01 identifies copper’s mode-of-action group when planning an appropriate disease-management programme.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Copper oxychloride is a contact protectant, not a systemic treatment that moves throughout the plant. Its activity depends on contact with susceptible disease organisms.
- Contact protection: The treatment places copper on the treated surface; the application method must match the crop and disease label.
- Copper interaction: Copper ions interact with susceptible fungal and bacterial cells or germinating spores.
- Multiple processes are affected: Copper interferes with enzyme systems and other cellular processes. This protective action does not repair plant tissue already damaged by disease.
Multi-site activity is not a guarantee that resistance can never occur. Use only the labelled crop-specific treatment within a suitable disease-management programme.
Target Crops & Diseases
Use only for the crop and disease on your Gaintop pack. The following are copper oxychloride 50% WP government formulation-reference pairings, not confirmation that every pairing is on the current Gaintop label.
| Crop | Target Disease(s) |
|---|---|
| Citrus |
|
| Chilli |
|
| Betel |
|
| Banana |
|
| Coffee |
|
| Potato |
|
| Tobacco |
|
| Tomato |
|
| Grapes |
|
| Coconut |
|
| Cardamom |

Keep each disease with its stated crop. A reference to one blight, rot or leaf spot does not establish control of every disease with a similar name. Do not add tea, mango, cumin or paddy uses from another copper product’s label.
Dosage & Application Guide
Confirm Gaintop’s product quantity and treatment method on the supplied pack. The water figure below is only a qualified copper oxychloride 50% WP formulation reference for the crop–disease pairings above, not a complete application direction.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Listed crops | Check label | 304–405* | Not given | Not stated* |
For each of the eleven listed crops and its stated diseases, the original government formulation table gives 750–1000 L water/ha, approximately 304–405 L/acre. That reference does not establish the Gaintop product quantity or whether a particular disease needs a foliar or other crop-specific treatment. Use the current Gaintop label for those directions.
*The water range is a formulation reference only. A numeric waiting period is not stated in those reference rows; this does not mean zero days or immediate harvest. The product-quantity units in that source are not sufficiently clear to provide a reliable acre dose here. Confirm the exact product quantity and harvest interval on the supplied label. No per-litre or tank dose is supplied.
Do not infer a spray, drench or tree-treatment method from a disease name or the water column alone. The supplied Gaintop label must establish method, timing, water, repeat interval, maximum applications, mixing, rainfast period and re-entry precautions before treatment.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the Gaintop crop use: Read the supplied label and match your crop and diagnosed disease. A generic copper reference or another brand’s label does not establish Gaintop directions.
- Match the treatment method: Follow the crop- and disease-specific method, timing, equipment and coverage on the pack. Do not treat all rot diseases as the same application.
- Mix only as directed: Follow the WP mixing directions and use a tank combination only when the relevant labels permit it. Do not infer compatibility from copper content alone.
- Plan harvest and entry: Confirm the waiting period and entry precautions before treating. Keep a record of the quantity, crop, area and date, and prevent contamination of water bodies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Gaintop contain?Gaintop contains copper oxychloride 50% WP, a wettable-powder formulation from Coromandel.
Is Gaintop systemic?Copper oxychloride has contact, protective activity. Do not expect it to move throughout the plant or repair disease-damaged tissue.
Are all crops in the table confirmed Gaintop uses?No. They are qualified government formulation-reference pairings. Use a pairing only if the supplied Gaintop label includes it.
Does a missing reference waiting period mean zero days?No. The reference does not state a numeric harvest interval for these rows. Confirm the current pack’s harvest directions before use.
Can I use another copper product’s dose or mixing instructions?No. Match the exact formulation and Gaintop label. Do not substitute copper hydroxide, a WG formulation or another brand’s application programme.
