Description

Copper oxychloride is a crystalline compound that is used as an agrochemical. It inhibits the growth of plants by inhibiting the synthesis of plant hormones, such as auxins and gibberellins. Copper oxychloride also has an inhibitory effect on enzymes in the shikimate pathway, which are necessary for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. This compound may be used as a control agent to prevent unwanted plant growth or to control weeds. The effective dose varies depending on whether it is applied to soil or foliage and ranges from 0.5-2 kg/ha.
