PURPOSE: A copper compound with a crop protecting function is provided to ensure excellent antibacterial function and dispersion, adhesion, and storage properties. CONSTITUTION: A copper compound with a crop protecting function contains a suspension of layered double hydroxides. The copper compound contains an antibacterial compound introduced between the copper layered double hydroxide layers. The antibacterial compound is an organic acid or amino acid containing carboxy groups. A method for preparing the copper compound comprises a step of adding an alkali solution to a copper salt solution. The copper salt includes copper nitrate, cuprous chloride, cupric chloride, copper sulfate, copper acetrate, or copper perchlorate.본 발명은 종래의 구리제에 비하여 항균활성, 약효, 효율성, 균질성, 분산성, 부착성 및 저장성이 우수하고, 작물의 적용범위가 넓은 고기능성의 작물보호 기능을 갖는 구리제 및 그의 제조방법에 관한 것으로서, 본 발명에 따른 작물보호 기능을 갖는 구리제는 층상형 구리이중수산화물의 현탁액을 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다.
