Vigro Copper (Cu-fulvate): Mohamed Helal’s Innovation in Eco-Friendly Copper Nutrition

By Mohamed Helal
Vice Chairman – Business & Innovation, Gizatec
Founder of the Protective Nutrition concept

🌍 Rethinking Copper for Sustainable Agriculture
Copper is a vital micronutrient in plant physiology, playing essential roles in enzyme activation, lignin formation, chlorophyll synthesis, and above all, in supporting a plant’s innate immune system. However, conventional copper fertilizers and fungicides — such as copper sulfate or copper hydroxide — come with serious environmental drawbacks:

Poor nutrient use efficiency
Toxic accumulation in soils
Harm to beneficial soil microbes
High residues on crops and runoff risks to water bodies
To address these challenges, Gizatec introduces a clean and effective solution:

✅ Vigro Copper (Cu-fulvate) — a scientifically advanced, eco-smart formulation engineered by Mohamed Helal to deliver highly bioavailable copper while preserving soil health and microbial balance.
🔬 What Is Cu-fulvate?

Cu-fulvate is a complex of copper chelated with fulvic acids — low molecular weight organic compounds with powerful chelating and transport abilities. Fulvic acids improve copper’s:

Solubility across soil pH ranges
Root and foliar absorption
Mobility within plant tissues
Safety for the soil microbiome
Compared to traditional salts, Cu-fulvate has been shown to offer higher nutrient efficiency with significantly lower toxicity, as supported by peer-reviewed agronomic studies (Chen et al., 2004; Rauthan & Schnitzer, 1981).

🛡️ Protective Nutrition: A Science-Driven Philosophy

Protective Nutrition, developed by Mohamed Helal, is a next-generation approach that:

Strengthens plant defenses naturally
Supports balanced fertilization strategies
Preserves beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere
Reduces dependency on harmful agrochemicals
Vigro Copper (Cu-fulvate) exemplifies this philosophy by acting as both a nutrient and a shield — proactively reinforcing plant immunity while minimizing environmental burden.

🌿 Replacing Harmful Copper Sprays

While copper-based crop protection products are still widely used to manage bacterial and fungal diseases, they often:

Require high application rates
Leave visible residues
Accumulate in soil over time
Vigro Copper may reduce — and in some integrated programs, eliminate — the need for conventional copper fungicides.
By supplying copper in its most efficient and plant-accessible form, Vigro Copper helps activate systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and supports plants in naturally fending off pathogens like Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas, and Fusarium.

🌱 Broad-Spectrum Crop Benefits

Vigro Copper (Cu-fulvate) has demonstrated excellent results across a wide range of crops:

Vegetables: Reduced foliar disease, improved nutrient density
Corn: Better root architecture, reduced fungal stalk infections
Olive trees: Healthier canopy, lower incidence of leaf spot and anthracnose
Citrus: Improved peel structure, stronger resistance to bacterial canker
Grapes: Enhanced vine vigor, protection from powdery mildew
Date palms: Strengthened resistance to Fusarium and improved growth under stress
🔬 Scientifically Validated, Field Proven

Developed under the direction of Mohamed Helal, renowned soil scientist and ecopreneur
Tested and validated in diverse environments — Egypt, China, the Gulf region, and beyond
Supports global movement toward regenerative and residue-free agriculture

Hello everyone,We bring you today an in-depth scientific report from a citrus farm located in El-Salhia, Ismailia Governorate, Egypt, where the farm has achieved remarkable success thanks to plant protective nutrition, balanced fertilization, and eco-friendly fertilizers. The farm reached an average productivity of 25 tons per acre, with over 95% export quality, making it one of the leading sources of orange exports to Asian markets (China, Singapore, Malaysia), European markets, as well as Brazil and Canada.The Fertilization Approach:The farm adopted the plant protective nutrition approach developed by Mohamed Helal, focusing on:• Gradually adapting the trees to balanced, eco-friendly fertilizers.• Reducing the need for costly and not healthy plant protection sprays.Fertilizers Used and Their Impact:Nile Fertile:• Applied for 14 years to address issues related to salinity, alkalinity, and calcium carbonates.• Resulted in the disappearance of symptoms typically caused by salinity, which is common in the El-Salhia region.Vigro Nitrogen:• Used for 7 years as an eco-friendly nitrogen source.• Supports vegetative growth without affecting fruit or flower quality, even when harvest is delayed.• Prevents nitrate accumulation by converting nitrogen quickly into amino acids, ensuring optimal phosphorus absorption and healthy root development.Vigro Iron, Vigro Zinc, and Vigro Manganese:• Applied for the first time this year, improving vitamin C and vitamin B12 levels while accelerating fruit ripening and coloration.Remarkable Improvements in Yield and Quality:• Significant quality improvement in fruit juice percent concentrate and overall fruit quality.• Leaves stayed dark green as evidence of optimum nutrient redistribution and utilization.• Accelerated ripening and coloration gave the farm a competitive edge in export markets.Recommendations:• Continue applying Nile Fertile to enhance the soil’s nutrient absorption capacity.• Maintain current fertilization programs while regularly monitoring for nutritional balance.Scientific Summary:The analysis revealed an excellent balance of major and trace nutrients, with no harmful fungal or microbial activity detected. The key recommendation is to continue the application of Nile Fertile and balanced fertilization programs using eco-friendly fertilizers to achieve optimal plant protective nutrition, enhancing tree health and sustaining high productivity and export quality.Key Facts and Export Success:✨ How was this success achieved?The farm followed Mohamed Helal’s plant protective nutrition program.🍊 Exceptional results this year:• Significant improvement in fruit quality and juice concentrate.• Increased levels of vitamin C and vitamin B12.• Faster ripening and better coloration.• Dark green leaves reflecting optimum nutrient redistribution and utilization through Vigro Iron, Vigro Zinc, and Vigro Manganese.🌱 These achievements made the farm a leader in export quality.Video Shooting Details:📍 Location: El-Salhia, Ismailia, Egypt📆 Date: Tuesday, February 4, 2025, at 11:47 AM (Cairo Time)🌳 Trees: Valencia Orange (Volkameriana rootstock) planted in 2008💬 Thank you for watching. Stay tuned for more detailed videos on agricultural recommendations and modern fertilization techniques!

Magnesium Fulvate: The Calcareous Soil Superhero!
here to tackle a common foe – nutrient deficiencies in calcareous soils!
Calcareous soils, rich in calcium carbonate, can limit plant access to essential nutrients, including magnesium. But wait, there's more! These high-calcium environments can also restrict the uptake of calcium itself! Fear not, for Magnesium Fulvate rides to the rescue!
Why is Magnesium Fulvate Ideal for Calcareous Soils?
Balancing Act: Magnesium Fulvate provides readily available magnesium, which can help regulate calcium uptake in plants. This creates a more balanced nutrient environment for optimal growth.
Unlocks Bound Nutrients: Just like other essential elements, Magnesium Fulvate chelates iron, zinc, and manganese, often locked away in high-pH calcareous soils, making them readily available for plants.
Improved Soil Structure: Calcareous soils can be compacted and dense. Magnesium Fulvate promotes better water infiltration and aeration, crucial for healthy root development and nutrient uptake.
Boosts Microbial Activity: A thriving microbial community breaks down organic matter, releasing additional nutrients trapped in calcareous soils, including calcium.
Benefits of Using Magnesium Fulvate in Calcareous Soils:
Overcomes deficiencies for improved magnesium and overall nutrient uptake
Enhances plant resilience to stress in challenging calcareous environments
Strengthens root development for better overall nutrient absorption
Promotes a healthier soil ecosystem for long-term benefits, including improved calcium availability
Struggling with nutrient deficiencies and suboptimal calcium uptake in your calcareous soils? Let's discuss how Magnesium Fulvate can be your gamechanger! Leave a comment below and share your experiences.
