Besides the adoption of strategies for the minimization of copper in organic farming such as the use of natural alternatives, lower application rates and the reduction of the dependency of plant protection products by optimization and increased use of preventive measures like cultural measures and non-chemical plant protection, the …
To develop strategies and pathways for a complete phasing out of copper-based plant-protection products, policymakers need information on the current dependency on copper-based plant-protection products, the implementation of alternative strategies, and the need for copper alternatives in European organic-crop production. Our survey aimed
Copper-based plant protection products (PPPs) are widely used in both conventional and organic farming, and to a lesser extent for non-agricultural maintenance of gardens, greenspaces, and infrastructures. The use of copper PPPs adds to environmental contamination by this trace element. This paper aims to review the contribution of these …
Copper is an essential metal for plants. It plays key roles in photosynthetic and respiratory electron transport chains, in ethylene sensing, cell wall metabolism, oxidative stress protection and biogenesis of molybdenum cofactor. Thus, a deficiency in the copper supply can alter essential functions …
Furthermore, preliminary tests on crops in a greenhouse were performed: lignin@Cu had better performances than a commercial pesticide based on copper(II) hydroxide on tomato plants against Rhizoctonia solani, indicating a great potential of these materials as plant protection products.
First results indicate that the copper-free alternative PPP called BPA038F is more effective in preventing downy mildew in grapes than its copper-containing …
Agrochemicals are synthetic or hemi-synthetic crop protection substances which are supervised by the EU Regulation EC 1107/2009, which give rise to plant protection products (PPP) with market authorizations. Most of these active substances of chemical origin were transferred from the previous Annex I of Directive 91/414/EEC to …
Other agricultural applications include plant protection, promoting plant growth, nanosensors, and antifungal and antibacterial activities. This chapter explores the wide-ranging applications of copper nanoparticles for plant protection and …

Plant protection products protect plants or plant products from harmful organisms or diseases. They can also be used to regulate a plant's growth.
Since the initial use of Bordeaux mixture in 1885 for plant disease control, a large number of copper-based antimicrobial compounds (CBACs) have been developed and applied for crop protection. While these compounds have revolutionized crop protection in the twentieth century, their continuous and frequent use has also raised …
The aim of this work was to investigate the efficacy of copper alternative products of natural origin against Plasmopara viticola to reduce or replace the use of copper in organic farming. The identification of new active and sustainable substances is in fact of priority importance because of the environmental impact of copper. The activity …
