APPLICATION:

- Fruits and Nuts: Mix specified rate in 1 gallon of water and apply 3 gallons of mixed solution to a small tree or bush, 6 gallons of mined solution to a medium size tree, or 9 gallons of mixed solution to a large tree. Thoroughly spray tree to point of runoff, including upper and lower surfaces of foliage. Do not overspray.
- Vegetables: Mix specified rate in 1 gallon of water apply 2 gallons of mixed solution per 1,000 sq. ft. (1 gallon of mixed solution per 500 sq. ft.). Apply every 7-10 days until harvest but not on the day of harvest.
- Miscellaneous: For trees: mix specified rate in 1 gallon of water and apply 3 gallons of mixed solution to a small tree, 6 gallons of mixed solution to a medium-size tree, or 9 gallons of mixed solution to a large tree. Thoroughly spray tree to point of runoff, including upper and lower surfaces of foliage. Do not overspray. Do not mix more spray solution than needed.
- If applied with other products, add Liquid Copper Fungicide last.
- Roses/Ornamentals – Apply as a thorough coverage spray using 2 tsps. of Liquid Copper Fungicide per gallon of water. Begin application at first sign of disease and repeat at 7-14 day intervals as needed. Use shorter interval during periods of frequent rains or when severe disease conditions persist….Liquid Copper Fungicide may be used alone or in combination with other registered fungicides as a maintenance spray.
“Specified Rates”:
- Cucurbits – Downey Mildew – 1-2 tsp/gallon
- Cucumbers, Pumpkins, Summer/Winter squash, Watermelons, Muskmelons
- Crucifers – Downey & Powdery Mildew and leaf spots – 3-4 tsp/gallon
- Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, arugula, Brussels sprouts, collards, watercress, and radishes.
- Spinach – 3 tsp/gallon
- Tomatoes – 3-5 tsp/gallon. While the labeled rate is particularly effective against Bacterial Spot, a tank mix of Maneb or Mancozeb used at the labeled rates controls a broad range of diseases.
- Ornamentals including roses, southern magnolias, and gardenias – 2 tsp/gallon. Repeat at 7-14 day intervals.
- Peppers – 3-6 tsp/gallon
Copper: Stone fruits are sensitive to copper. Bordeaux mixture causes russeting of apples and may stunt cantaloupe and watermelon leaves. Copper compounds should be used with caution on any cucurbit crop. Injury is most likely to occur when materials are applied to wet leaves and under damp, slow-drying conditions. Copper containing sprays will also defoliate peaches, plums, and apricots. From TAMU here.

Do Not Use Surfactants – Research has shown that adding surfactants with copper fungicides greatly increased the injury to foliage. This is because the surfactant allows the copper to spread over more of the leaf surface and contact more stomates as well as to penetrate more through cuticles.
Copper fungicides work to kill pathogen cells by denaturing enzymes and other critical proteins. However, copper can also kill plant cells if absorbed in sufficient quantities. Low solubility “fixed” copper fungicides, when sprayed on plant leaves will dry and then will release copper ions in small amounts every time the leaf is wetted. These released copper ions are what will kill pathogen cells and also have the ability to kill plant cells. To cause damage to plant cells, the copper ions must move from the plant surface and penetrate plant cells.
