APPLICATION AND CALIBRATION TECHNIQUES FOR SPRINKLER IRRIGATION 
Apply thil product only through the following types of irrigation systems. no 
not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Do not 
apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
Refer to GENERAL INFORMATION for agitation and mixing instructions. 
A person knowledgable of the chemigation system and responsible for its opera­
tion, or under the supervision of the responsible perlon, shall shut the system 
down and aake necessary adjustments should the need arise. Crop injury, lack of 
effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result (rom non­
uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, 
you should contact State Extension Service specialiat., equipment manufacturers 
or other experts.

B. Solid Set and Hand Kove Irrigation Equipment: Determine acreage covered by 
sprinkler. Fill tank of injection equi~ent with water and adjust flow to use 
contents over a thirty to forty-five minute period. Kix desired amount of 
COPPER HYDROXIDE 77DF for acreage to b~ covered into quantity of water used 
during calibration and operate entire system at normal pressures recommended by 
the .. nufacturer of injection equipment used for amount of time established 
during calibration. Provide constant mechanical Bgitation in the mix tank to 
insure that COPPER HYDROXIDE 77DF will remain in suspension d'lring the injection 
cycle. COPPER HYDROXIDE 77DF can be injected at the beginning or end of the 
irrigstion cycle or ss a separate spplication. St~p injection equipment after 
treatment is completed and continue to operate irrigation system until COPPER 
HYDROXIDE 77DF has been cleared from lsst sprinkler head. 
SAFETY DEV.,lCES 
A. The systems designated above muat contain 3 functional check valve, vacuum 
relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation 
pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. All pesticide 
injection pipelines must contain a functional, Butomatic, quick-cloaing chp.ck 
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesti­
cide injection pipeline must also contain a functional. nonaally 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connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the 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. 
B. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically 
shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 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. Syste.s must use a metering 
pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) 
_or _. ~ - effectively designed and constructed of mat~rials that are compatible with 
p~sticides and capable of being fitted with a .ystem interlock. 
SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SOURCES 
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped 
water for human consumption if 8uch system has at least 15 service connections 
~r regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at lea,r ~O:days 
out of the year. Do not cor .. lect an irrigation system (includi)fg:lteenhdds'" 
systems) used for pesticide application to a public water sy~te~ ~nless the 
pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water s,e~e.~ are in 
place. .• •. , , . . . . . . .. 
Chemigation systems connected to public vater systems must contaio!a func'ional, 
reduced-pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functionaI'equiva)e"t in 
the vater supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introductio;:"A; an 
option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be di~atied 
into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be s' . 
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. 
For a~ditional instructions on SAFETY DEVICES, refer to sections A. and B. 
above. • t

posting Inalru~,ns: Posting of areas to be c'- Lgated is required when any 
part of a treated area is within 300 feet of sensitive areas such as residential 
areas, labor camps, businesses, day care centers, hospitals, in-patient clinics, 
nursing homes, or any public areas such as schools, parks, playgrounds, or other 
public facilities not including public roads. 
Posting must conform to the following requirements. Treated areas shall be 
pOI ted with signs at all usual points of entry and along likely routes of 
approach from the listed sensitive areas. When there are no usual points of 
entry, signs must be posted in the corners of the treated areas and in any other 
location affording maximum visibility to sensitive areas. The printed side of 
the sign should face away from the treated area towards the sensitive area. The 
signs shall be printed in English. Signs must be posted prior to application 
and must remain posted until foliage has dried and soil surface water has disap­
peared. Signs may remain in place indefinitely aE long as they are cOQPosed of 
material to prevent deterioration and maintpin legibility for the duration of 
the pOGting period. 
All words shall consist of letters at least 1, inches tall, and all letters and 
the symbol shall be a color which sharply contrasts with their immediate 
background. At the top of the sign shall be the words KEEP OUT, followed by an 
octagonal stop sign symbol at least 8 inches in diameter containing the word 
STOP. Below the symbol shall be the words PESTICIDES IN WATER. 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
Use COPPER HYDROXIDE 77DF as noted below. COPPER HYDROXIDE 77DF is adapatable 
to spraying from all types of spray equipment. Depending on the equipment used 
and the specific crop, the volume applied per acre will differ. For dilute, 
high volume sprays: use from 25 to 100 gallons of water per acre (CPA) for most 
vegetable crops, 400 to 800 GPA for fruit orchards and up to 1500 GPA as may be 
required for large citrus groves. For concentrate ground sprsys, apply from 5 
to 20 GPA for most vegetable crops and 25 to 100 GPA for fruit and nut crops. 
For aerial spraying, 3 to 15 GPA are commonly used. No additional surfactants 
are needed. Add COPPER HYDROXIDE 77DF slowly to a spray tank partially filled 
with water. Spreader-stickers, insecticides, nutrients, etc. should be added 
last. Observe all cautions and limitations on label of products used in 
mixtures. 
The following specific instructions are based on general applications. The 
recommendations of the State Agricultural Extension Services should be closely 
followed as to timing, frequency and number of sprsys per season.
