Cupricide provides effective control of a wide spectrum of filamentous and planktonic algae. It is suitable for use in irrigation canals, farm dams, ponds, ornamental lakes and potable water supplies.
In recent years, Australian water supplies have been increasingly threatened by nuisance algae growth caused by excessive amounts of nutrients entering water supplies. These nutrients, originating from agricultural or urban runoff, detergent wastes and/or waste water discharges can enhance the growth of aquatic algae often resulting in unsightly and unmanageable algal blooms. Under serious infestation, algae may accumulate on the surface forming a thick scum. Such algal blooms are not only aesthetically displeasing and detrimental to the intended use of the water but may also present serious health hazards to both humans and animals, e.g., blue green algae. Algae contamination may discolour water, create unpleasant tastes and odours and even impart a distasteful flavour to fish. In addition, once algae die and starts to decompose, the process may deplete dissolved oxygen levels in the water thereby threatening fish populations.
Agmin Cupricide is an economically viable way to control algae. Supplied in an easy to use (liquid) form, Cupricide effectively controls the blooming of a broad spectrum of planktonic (suspended) and filamentous (mat forming) algae including Chara, Spirogyra, Cladophora, Vaucheria, Ulothrix, Microcystis, Anabaena, Nodularia and Oscillatoria. Cupricide works by systemic action, penetrating the algal cells and inhibiting photosynthesis.
