NOTE: A ground application of Basic Copper Sulfate after planting, but before emergence .ay help decrease infections of Angular Leaf Spot, Anthracnose and Alternaria Leaf Spot. Then follow above schedule after emergence. NOTE: Some Agricultural Experiment Stations recommend equal amounts of hydrated lime when used on cucurbits. Lime when applied to cucurbits may cause dwarfing of plants and reduce fruit set due to increased transpiration and defoliation under some conditions.
