PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS
COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF may be applied by Air, or by Dilute or Concentrated Ground Sprayers, or
Chemigation on crops and at rates given on this label unless specifically prohibited for that crop use. When
selecting a use rate for COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF, do not apply less than the labeled minimum amount. Under
heavy disease pressure or when conditions favor such, use the higher rate and shorter spray intervals specified for
each crop. Use the higher rates for large mature tree crops. The per acre use rate is applicable for both dilute and
concentrate spraying.
Sufficient spray volume and spray pressure are essential to thoroughly penetrate the plant canopy and give
thorough spray coverage. On crops sensitive to copper fungicides use the higher volumes of spray water per acre.
When making a concentrate or aerial application without specific experience, it is advisable to test for crop
tolerance prior to full scale use.
While volume is important in obtaining full spray coverage, other factors such as foliage density, environmental
conditions and spray calibrations, have a greater impact. Always be sure that sprayers are calibrated to spray
equipment manufacturer's specifications and environmental conditions are within those re quired by State and local
regulatory authorities.
When using adjuvants or other pesticides in combination with this product, always observe the precautionary
statements on the product's label and required days before harvest. Observe the most restrictive of the labeling
limitations and precautions of all products used in mixtures. Sprays of COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF may be
applied up to 24 hours preharvest due to REI for Worker Protection Standard. Before mixing with other products in
spray tank, be sure that products are compatible. If compatibility is in question, use the compatibility jar test
before mixing a whole tank.
COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF should not be applied in spray water having a pH of less than 6.5 as phytotoxicity
may result. Use a buffering agent to increase the pH to 6.5-7.0 if your water source is below 6.5. Also avoid using
water having a pH of greater than 9.0 as effectiveness may be reduced. Environmental conditions such as
extended periods of wet weather, acid rain, etc. which alter the pH of the leaf surface may affect the performance
of COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF resulting in possible phytotoxicity or loss of effectiveness.
5
Agricultural chemicals may perform in an unpredictable manner when tank mixed, especially where several
products are involved. Reduced effect on pests or crop injury may occur. Unless recommended on this label or by
state/local expert, it is advisable to test for compatibility and tolerance to crop injury prior to full scale commercial
utilization of a new tank mix or tank mixing should not be undertaken.
This product may be reactive on metal and masonry surfaces such as galvanized roofing. Avoid contact with metal
surfaces. Do not spray cars, houses, lawn furniture, or other metal surfaces
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPRAY APPLICATION
Fill the spray tank three-fourths to four-fifths full with clean water. Start agitation (NOTE: Proper agitation creates
a rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface). Add COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF at the recommended rate.
Mix thoroughly and then add enough water to fill spray tank. Maintain sufficient agitation during mixing and during
application of sprays to ensure a uniform spray mixture. When tank mixing with other products, follow the mixing
sequence below: (1) micronutrients and fertilizers, (2) wettable powders, dry flowables, and water dispersible
granules, (3) liquid flowables, (4) emulsifiable concentrates, and (5) adjuvants. Before adding the second
pesticide, be sure that the prior product is well mixed and suspended before adding the next ingredient.
MINIMUM RECOMMENDED SPRAY VOLUME IN GALLONS PER ACRE (GPA)
A full dilute spray on tree crops means the maximum amount of spray when uniformly applied that an acre of such
trees will hold to the point that excess spray begins to drip off. Thus the dilute spray volume per acre will depend
on tree size and leaf surface per acre. The following listed dilute spray volumes is the volume that will generally
provide such coverage on average size of full leafed trees. A concentrate spray is a spray applied in less volumes
than a dilute. The extent of the concentration varies by equipment used. Thus the following spray volumes for a
concentrated spray are the minimum volumes recommended per acre.
Use COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF as noted below unless indicated otherwise in the specific crop directions.
COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF is adaptable to spraying from aircraft and ground spraying equipment. Depending
on the equipment used and the specific crop, the volume applied per acre will differ. Refer to recommended
volumes below:
Aerial
(gallons of water/A)
Ground
(gallons of water/A)
Dilute Concentrate
Vegetables and Field Crops 3 20 -
Small Fruits 5 150 50
Vines 5 150 50
Fruit and Nut Trees* 10 400 50
Citrus 10 800 100 (20 in Florida)**
*On young fruit trees, use a minimum of 1 gallon spray per acre.
**Pesticide application equipment such as Curtec or other similar sprayers which are capable of obtaining thorough
coverage at low volumes may be used at as low as 20 GPA of spray volume.
CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS
Do not apply this product through any irrigation system using aluminum parts or components as damage to the
system may occur. Such application is prohibited regardless of whether the irrigation system is flushed with water
after use of this product.
6
Apply this product only through one or more of the following types of systems: sprinkler including center pivot,
lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation system(s) which
contain no aluminum parts or components. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non -uniform distribution of treated water. If you have
questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or
other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application
to a public water system unless the pesticide label -prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation or under the supervision of
the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
A. Center Pivot, Traveler, Big Gun, Motorized Lateral Move, End Tow, and Side (Wheel) Roll Irrigation Equipment:
Operate system and injection equipment at normal pressures recommended by the manufacturer of injection
equipment used. Fill tank or injection equipment with water. Operate system for one complete circle for center
pivot or one complete run for the other recommended equipment, measuring time required, amount of water
injected, and acreage contained in circle or run. Mix recommended amount of product for acreage to be covered
into same amount of water used during calibration and inject into system continuously for one revolution or run,
but continue to operate irrigation system until the product has been cleared from last sprinkler head. Spray
mixture in the chemical supply tank must be agitated at all times, otherwise settling and uneven application may
occur.
B. Solid Set and Hand Move Irrigation Equipment: Determine acreage covered by sprinkler. Fill tank of injection
equipment with water and adjust flow to use contents over a thirty to forty-five minute period. Mix desired amount
of product for acreage to be covered into quantity of water used during calibration and operate entire system at
normal pressures recommended by the manufacturer of injection equipment used for amount of time established
during calibration. Provide constant mechanical agitation in the mix tank to insure that the product will remain in
suspension during the injection cycle. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed and continue to
operate irrigation system until pesticide is cleared from last sprinkler head.
SAFETY DEVICES
(1) The systems designated above must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure
drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
(2) All pesticide injection pipelines must contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check valve to prevent the
flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
(3) The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid -operated valve located
on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being
withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
(4) The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
when the water pump motor stops.
(5) The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump
motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
(6) Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump)
effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted
with a system interlock.
(7) Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
Public water systems means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such
a system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least
60 days out of the year. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional,
reduced-pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream
from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should
be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air
gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the
inside diameter of the fill pipe. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off
7
the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops or, in cases where there is no water pump, when
the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
For additional instructions on safety precautions refer to statements (2), (3), (4), (6), and (7) in the section on
SAFETY DEVICES.
SPRAY DRIFT
AERIAL APPLICATIONS:
• Do not release spray at a height great than 10 ft. above the vegetative canopy of water, unless a greater
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1)
• Do not apply when wind speed exceeds 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than
10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of
the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for
fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter
for helicopters.
• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
• Apply with the spray release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above
the ground or crop canopy unless making a turf, pasture, or rangeland application, in which case
applicators may apply with a spray release height no more than 4 feet above the ground.
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
S572.1).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET
SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications
are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the
highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle
with a higher flow rate.
• Pressure- Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
8
droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed
to reduce drift.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine
droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For
ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray
at a height greater than 10 ft. above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot
safety.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the
shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of
an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft
smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions)
indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Copper Hydroxide - GROUP M01 FUNGICIDE
COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF contains copper hydroxide, a Group M01 fungicide with a multi-site contact activity.
Copper hydroxide is an inorganic non-systemic protectant compound which are generally considered as a low-risk
of developing resistance.
Because COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF is a protective and not systemic fungicide, thorough coverage of the plant
surface must be maintained. A gradual or total loss of control may occur over time if plant growth or weathering
reduces the foliage coverage.
However, because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to sound
resistance management strategies such as:
• Rotate the use of COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF or other Group M01 fungicides/bactericides within a growing
season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
• Use tank mixtures with fungicide/bactericides from a different group that are equally effective on the target
pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the manufacturer.
9
• Adopt an IPM program for fungicide/bactericide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to
pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions
on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide/bactericide applications.
Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance.
• Monitor treated fungal/bacterial populations for resistance development.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-
management and/or 1PM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact your local Albaugh representative at 1-800-
247-8013 or local extension specialist to report resistance.
CROPS
The following specific instructions are based on general application procedures. The recommendations of the State
Agricultural Extension Service should be closely followed as to timing, frequency and number of sprays per season.
FROST INJURY PROTECTION:
Bacterial Ice nucleation inhibitor - Application of COPPER HYDROXIDE 30% DF made to all crops listed on this label
at rates and stages of growth indicated on this label at least 24 hours prior to anticipated frost conditions will
afford control of ice nucleating bacteria (Pseudomonas syringae, Erwinia herbicola, and Pseudomonas fluorescens)
and may thereby provide some protection against light frost. The degree of frost protection will vary with weather
conditions and other factors. Not recommended for those geographical areas where weather conditions favor
severe frost.
