neoguy, it did and thats why we have this forum. By the way feldon what are you doin here?

Copper use is not only limited in the use as a fungicide.
Copper is also used by the plant. All research indicates that copper is important in the breakdown of proteins in the growth processes of plants. Plants that are deficient in copper have an abnormally low rate of photosynthesis.
This is the reason to suggest that copper is involved in the reactions of oxidation reduction in plants. It is also apparent that copper is linked with iron and manganese in the formation of chlorophyll. And it seems that copper also has a regulating function when soil nitrogen is too high. Ami
