Looking for Nordox 75 WG fungicide in Kenya? Nordox 75 WG, commonly called red copper, is a water-dispersible granule copper fungicide used in crop disease-management programmes. It contains copper(I) oxide at 860 g/kg, equivalent to 750 g/kg metallic copper. Dawn Farmers Ltd supplies agricultural inputs from Nairobi and can help you check the pack and label before purchase.
In Kenya, registered uses listed for Nordox 75 WG include coffee berry disease and coffee leaf rust in coffee, early and late blight in tomatoes, and rust in French beans. Good disease identification, suitable timing and thorough spray coverage are essential.
What makes Nordox 75 WG different?
Nordox 75 WG is a concentrated copper formulation supplied as water-dispersible granules. The manufacturer highlights its wettability, suspension in the spray mixture and retention on treated foliage. Copper acts primarily as a protective surface treatment, so apply it as part of a planned disease-management programme and follow the label for your crop.

How to use Nordox 75 WG effectively
- Identify the disease: Check the crop and symptoms before choosing a fungicide. Similar leaf symptoms can have different causes.
- Check the exact pack: Confirm that it says Nordox 75 WG. WG and WP are different formulations; use the instructions for the product in your hand.
- Plan protective applications: Use the crop-specific timing on the Kenyan label and monitor weather and disease pressure. Do not rely on a fixed number of weeks before rain for every crop.
- Cover the target foliage: Calibrate the sprayer and apply an even spray without excessive run-off.
- Observe label limits: Check the rate, water volume, repeat interval, pre-harvest interval, re-entry instructions and protective equipment before mixing.
Rate per 20-litre knapsack: Calculate this from the crop-specific Kenyan label rate and your calibrated spray volume. A rate expressed per hectare cannot be converted accurately to grams per 20 litres without knowing how much water your sprayer applies per hectare.
Can Nordox 75 WG be mixed with a wetter?
Only add an adjuvant when the Nordox label and the adjuvant label permit the combination. Dawn Farmers stocks SKYSIL GOLD spray adjuvant, but do not assume that every wetter is compatible with copper or needed for every application. Seek product-specific advice before preparing a tank mix.
Spraying equipment and operator safety
Use a clean, well-maintained sprayer that provides suitable coverage. Dawn Farmers lists the Jacto XP knapsack sprayer for farmers comparing spraying equipment. Wear the protective equipment required on the Nordox pack label; a spray suit is one item to consider alongside suitable gloves, eye protection and other label-specified equipment. Keep spray away from people, animals and water sources.
