Product details
Kocide 2000 Fungicide | Copper Hydroxide 53.8% DF
A copper-based contact protectant for specified fungal and bacterial crop diseases.
What it controls: Late blight, downy mildew, anthracnose and the listed rice diseases.
When to use it: Preventively, before disease becomes established.
What to include: Uniform coverage, crop-specific directions and protection of water bodies.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🛡️Preventive surface protection: Copper activity helps stop infection at the treated plant surface, protecting tissue before disease becomes established.
- 💧More even spray coverage: Uniform particle size helps distribute the protective deposit over the crop surface.
- 🧴Good suspension in the tank: The formulation is designed to stay dispersed during spraying, helping maintain consistent delivery when used as directed.
- ⏱️Gradual copper availability: Copper is released gradually from the deposit, supporting protective activity after application without a fixed-duration promise.
- 🎯Fungal and bacterial targets: It covers both the specified fungal diseases and bacterial leaf blight in rice, so the disease diagnosis can guide product selection.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Kocide 2000 protects treated surfaces rather than curing infection inside the plant. Copper ions affect several essential processes in fungal and bacterial cells.
- A protective deposit is formed: Even foliar coverage places the copper formulation where spores and bacteria encounter the plant.
- Copper ions act at several sites: The ions interfere with proteins, enzymes, membranes and energy processes in susceptible pathogens.
- Early infection is interrupted: When pathogens take up sufficient copper, normal development is disrupted before infection becomes established.
This is not a systemic or curative treatment. Use prevention, field monitoring and an appropriate integrated disease-management programme.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Potato | ≈607 g 1500 g/ha |
≈202.3 L 500 L/ha |

Use as a foliar protectant with even canopy coverage. The harvest intervals are crop-specific and begin after the final spray.
*For grapes, chilli and rice, obtain the complete crop-specific product dose and water programme from the supplied pack before mixing. Do not substitute the potato dose or one common rate across these crops.
*No universal per-litre recipe is supplied here. Use the measured area dose with its matching water volume.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Apply preventively: Use the supplied crop programme before infection is established. Copper protection is not a cure for advanced disease.
- Cover the canopy: Disperse the product as directed and use a calibrated foliar sprayer for an even protective deposit.
- Keep crop rates separate: Use the potato programme only for potato late blight; follow the exact pack’s separate grape, chilli and rice instructions.
- Do not assume a tank mix: Follow specific pack guidance before mixing with another pesticide, fertiliser or adjuvant.
- Protect aquatic areas: Keep spray, dust, spillages and equipment washings out of water bodies and drains.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kocide 2000 systemic?No. It is a contact protectant without systemic or curative action, so preventive timing and coverage are important.
Does it have bacterial-disease uses?Yes. Bacterial leaf blight is listed for rice. This does not make it a treatment for every bacterial disease on every crop.
What is the potato dose?For potato late blight, the programme shown is approximately 607 g in 202.3 L water per acre, equivalent to 1500 g in 500 L per hectare. These are formulation-reference directions; the current supplied pack governs use.
Can I use the potato dose in chilli or rice?No. Obtain and follow each crop’s complete directions on the supplied pack. A shared product name does not make all crop rates the same. These are formulation-reference directions; the current supplied pack governs use.
What are the harvest waiting periods?The intervals shown are potato 22 days, grapes 12 days, chilli 5 days and rice 10 days after the final spray. Observe any stricter supplied-pack direction. These are formulation-reference directions; the current supplied pack governs use.
