Helpful tips
- Read instructions thoroughly before use and retain instructions label for future reference.
- Use as part of your Winter Spray Programme.
- Copper fungicides work by preventing spore germination and can act at several stages in fungus development. Coverage is therefore far more important than the quantity of actual copper on the plant surface, and that is why particle size is important.
- Shake well before application and continue to shake regularly during use.
- Apply when disease first appears and repeat at 10 – 14 day intervals while conditions encourage infection.
- For control of leaf–curl and bladder plum, apply at bud swelling and repeat after 10 – 14 days.
- For control of bacterial blast, first prune out all dead and diseased woody tissue, then apply at leaf fall, mid–winter and then as for leaf curl.
- Use higher rate only if disease pressure is high, i.e. during warm, humid weather.
- Ensure complete coverage of plant including undersides of leaves for full protection.
