Copper Advance® — Highly Available Copper for Plant Nutrition, Disease Resistance & Crop Health
Superior Complexed Copper Formulation for Maximum Bioavailability & Crop Safety
Copper Advance® by Avovida Farms is a premium liquid copper fertilizer containing water-soluble Copper ($\text{Cu}$) complexed with gluconic acid for rapid absorption, excellent mobility, and superior plant availability. The gluconic acid complex protects copper from precipitation, ensuring efficient uptake while minimizing the risk of phytotoxicity associated with conventional copper products.
Designed for avocado orchards, fruit trees, and high-value horticultural crops, Copper Advance® supplies essential copper during critical growth stages to promote healthy plant development, strengthen natural plant defense mechanisms, and improve crop quality and productivity.
Key Benefits for Farmers
-
Rapid Deficiency Correction: Rapidly corrects and prevents copper deficiencies.
-
Boosts Photosynthesis & Canopy Growth: Promotes healthy green foliage, enhances enzyme activity, and boosts photosynthetic efficiency.
-
Strengthens Natural Defenses: Strengthens natural plant defense against environmental and biological stress.
-
Enhances Reproductive Success: Improves flowering, pollen fertility, and reproductive performance.
-
Structural Support: Enhances lignin synthesis for stronger stems, shoots, and overall plant structure.
-
Crop Safety: Delivers highly available copper with excellent crop safety, avoiding leaf scorch.
How It Works
-
Copper ($\text{Cu}$) — Essential Growth Catalyst: Activates key enzymes involved in photosynthesis and respiration, promotes chlorophyll formation, and supports pollen fertility and seed formation.
-
Gluconic Acid Complex — Superior Delivery: Enhances copper mobility within the plant, reduces nutrient fixation on leaf surfaces, and eliminates the risk of leaf scorch common with traditional copper salts.

Recommended Application Rates & Timing
| Crop / Application | Recommended Dosage | Application Timing (7–14 Day Intervals) |
| Fruit Trees (Avocado, etc.) |
2–3 ml/L water (40–60 ml per 20L sprayer) |
Apply during active vegetative growth, before flowering, and post-harvest. |
| Horticultural Crops |
1.5–3 ml/L water (30–60 ml per 20L sprayer) |
Apply preventively during active growth or at first signs of deficiency. |
| All Crops (Soil Drench) |
3–6 ml/L water |
Apply where soil copper supplementation is required. |
Compatibility & Precautions
-
Tank Mixing: Do not mix with highly alkaline products or inputs containing phosphates or materials incompatible with copper. Always conduct a jar compatibility test prior to tank mixing.
-
Precautions: Apply only at recommended rates. Avoid spraying during extreme heat or crop stress. Not recommended for crop varieties highly sensitive to copper.
