Magna-Bon CS 2005: Proven Protection Against Avocado Anthracnose
The Growing Threat of Anthracnose in Avocado Crops
Avocado growers face a persistent challenge from Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, which can significantly reduce fruit quality and yield. This fungal disease thrives in humid conditions, leading to dark, sunken lesions, premature fruit drop, and lower market value.
To combat this, many avocado growers rely on copper-based fungicides, and Magna-Bon CS 2005 has emerged as a scientifically backed solution for Anthracnose management.
Scientific Validation: Dr. Manuel de Huerta Lara’s Research on CS 2005
A study by Dr. Manuel de Huerta Lara evaluated the biological effectiveness of Magna-Bon CS 2005 for controlling Anthracnose in avocados. The research highlighted the superior efficacy of CS 2005 compared to other treatments:
- CS 2005 at 300 mL/100 L – 98% control
- CS 2005 at 400 mL/100 L – 99% control
- CS 2005 at 500 mL/100 L – 99.5% control
These results demonstrate that Magna-Bon CS 2005 effectively eliminates Anthracnose when applied consistently. The study confirmed that three consecutive applications at 7-day intervals provided long-term control and significantly reduced disease presence.
How Does CS 2005 Work?
Magna-Bon CS 2005 is an OMRI-listed copper sulfate pentahydrate fungicide in-solution formula that delivers systemic and protective action against fungal pathogens. Unlike traditional copper fungicides, it features:
✅ Systemic Protection – Moves within the plant for long-lasting disease resistance.
✅ Low Metallic Copper Content – Reduces environmental impact while ensuring high efficacy.
✅ OMRI-Listed for Organic Use – Safe for both organic and conventional avocado production.
Why Growers Trust CS 2005
The research by Dr. Manuel de Huerta Lara confirms that Magna-Bon CS 2005 provides superior Anthracnose control when used correctly. By following best practices, avocado growers can achieve disease control levels of up to 99%, ensuring healthier crops and higher marketable yields.
