PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS 
HAZARDS TO HUMAN AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS 
WARNING: Causes substantial but temporary eye injury. Harmful if 
swallowed. Avoid breathing spray mist. May cause irritation of 
nose. throat and skin. May cause skin sensitization in certain 
individuals. Avoid contact with eyes. skin and clothing. Do not 
contaminate feed and food stuffs. 
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. For 
terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, or to areas 
where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the 
mean high water .ark. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be 
hazardous to fish and aquatic organisms in adjacent aquatic 
sites. Do not conta.inate water by cleaning of equipment or 
disposal of wastes. 
RECOMMENDATIONS: MIXING 
Fill the spray tank approximately 1/2 full of water and with 
agit~tor running add the required a~unt of Basic Copper Sulfate. 
Add water to fill the spray tank 3/4 full and when a spreader 
sticker is recommended, add the recom.ended amounts according to 
the manufacturer's recommendation. Fill the spray tank, and keep 
agitator running until spraying is completed. 
Basic Copper Sulfate is compatible with oils and can be included 
in dormant oil sprays.

BROCCOLI, CABBAGE, CAULIFLOWER - Downy Mildew, Leaf Spots: Use 1 
to Jibs. per acre. Begin when plants are above ground in plant 
bed or before disease normally appears. Repeat at 7 to 10 day 
intervals in plant bed and field. 
C~RROTS - Downy Mildew. Cercospora and Alternaria Leaf Blights: 
Use J to 4 lbs. per acre. Begin treatment when disease first

Wilt, Downy and Powdery Mildews, Gummy Stem Blight, Leaf Spot, 
Scab: Use 2 Ibs. per acre. Begin treatment when plants begin to

to be more serious in high plant populations (40,000 or more 
plants per acre) spray every 3 to 4 days to protect fruit at all 
stages of development. 
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. Consult your local Experiment Station for 
specific recommendation. 
EGGPLANT - Alternaria Blight, Anthracnose, Phomopsis: Use 3 to 4 
Ibs. per acre. Begin in plant bed or in field before disease
