Product Information

Copper sulfate is often used in the garden to control fungal diseases, algae, and moss. It acts as a fungicide and algaecide, helping to protect plants and prevent certain pests. How do I use copper sulfate to control fungal diseases? Firstly, remove badly infected sections of the plant using sterile pruning shears (making sure to clean your tools after use to prevent spreading mold spores). The best time of the year to apply Kocide 3000 varies and depends on the type of disease being prevented and the type of crop being treated. Kocide 3000 can be applied throughout the growing season to prevent diseases such as brown rot of fruit, citrus scab, and melanose.

Otherwise, they will come in a bottle of concentrated liquid copper that normally advises mixing 0.5 to 2 ounces of the liquid per gallon of water in a spray bottle (taking care to use protective gloves and clothing). Copper sulfate can be used as a treatment for root rot in plants, but it is essential to use it in the appropriate concentration and as a preventative measure. It won’t cure root rot once it has already set in significantly. How often should I apply copper sulfate to my garden? This fungus shows up as brown spots and primarily affects tomatoes. It can occur at any stage in the plant’s life. How Does Copper Work On Fungus

This 32-ounce, ready-to-use spray by Monterey allows you to apply diluted fungicide solution directly and safely onto your plants from the bottle thanks to the easy trigger spray nozzle. Though copper fungicide has been approved under the USDA National Organic Program, it is technically classified as a synthetic. Another reason to use copper carefully is so that the excess won’t break down in your garden soil. Copper accumulates in the soil and can reach harmful levels in one season if you use it a lot.

To control algae in ornamental lawns and turf, apply 10 fl. oz. (0.06 lbs. metallic copper) of Liquid Copper Fungicide in 5 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet. Liquid Copper Fungicide may be used alone or in combination with other registered fungicides as a maintenance spray. Observe all precautions and limitations on the label of each product used in tank mixes. Do not apply more than 80.0 fl. oz. of Liquid Copper Fungicide (0.48 lbs. metallic copper) per 1,000 sq. ft. per year. Do not apply at less than 10 day intervals. With all Bordeaux and fixed copper sprays, thorough coverage is essential to give plants the desired protection from disease-causing pathogens. Advantages and disadvantages of fixed copper and Bordeaux sprays are compared in Table 1.Kocide 3000 is safe for pets and kids when it has been applied properly according to the label. Please allow for the product to dry completely before re-entering treated areas. Be sure to wear the proper PPE before mixing and applying Kocide 3000 (gloves, protective eyewear, particle mask, long sleeve clothing, closed-toed shoes). The size area that Kocide 3000 will treat depends on the type of crop and the type of fungus or bacterial disease being controlled. 1 lb. of Kocide can treat one acre, so a 10 lb. bag will sufficiently treat 10 acres of land. Copper fungicide can be a very effective preventative when it comes to keeping many of your plants and trees disease free.

The effectiveness of copper sprays has been correlated with the amount of elemental copper applied. The metallic copper content varies widely by product. Potency also varies by how the product is prepared. Finely ground copper products are more active than coarsely ground ones. Professor Emeritus Tom Zitter of Cornell University suggests that for vegetable crops "Begin by choosing a copper product with at least 20% or more copper as the active ingredient to insure the greatest release of copper ions". Copper-based fungicide products for trees are commonly in a “fixed-copper” spray form, but it can also come in a blue paste known as Bordeaux mixture, which combines copper and lime and is often applied to trunks with a wide paintbrush.I can’t tell you how important this is. Several years ago one of my farmer friends learned this lesson the hard way. After recognizing blight on her tomatoes she went to the feed store to buy some copper to combat the disease.
