Mode of Action
The copper ion is the component of copper sulfate with toxicological implications.
Copper ions appear to bind to functional groups of protein molecules in fungi and algae and cause protein denaturation, producing cell damage and leakage.
Copper sulfate is an algaecide, bactericide, and fungicide which induces plant defenses called systemic acquired resistance (SAR) for enhanced preventive action. Deposits must be on the crop before fungal spores begin to germinate.
The active ingredient in copper sulfate formulations is the positively charged copper ion (Cu+2).
Many organisms are sensitive to very small amounts of copper ions, such as bacteria and fungi but especially aquatic organisms such as algae or water molds.
Copper sulfate has broad-spectrum activity against microorganisms due to copper’s interaction with nucleic acids, interference with energy transport, and disruption of enzyme activity and integrity of cell membranes.
