PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
DANGER: Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Harmful if
swallowed. Do not get in eyes or on clothing. Avoid contact with skin. Wear protective eyewear (goggles, face
shield or safety glasses). Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking,
chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Mixers, loaders, applicators and other handlers must wear: Protective eyewear (goggles, face shield or
safety glasses), long -sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, socks, and chemical -resistant gloves made of any
waterproof material such as barrier laminate; butyl rubber ≥14 mil; nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mil; neoprene rubber ≥
14 mil; polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ≥ 14 mil; or viton ≥14 mil. For overhead exposure, wear chemical-resistant
headgear.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist,
use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this
product’s concentrate.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed
in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6), the handler PPE
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
Pilots must use an enclosed cab that meets the definition listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR
170.305].
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should: 1) Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using
tobacco or using the toilet. 2) Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly
and put on clean clothing. 3) Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves
before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates and may contaminate water through runoff. This product
has potential for runoff for several months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to
aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
Do not apply directly to water or areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high
mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
Fish Advisory Statement: This copper product is toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Unlike most organic
pesticides, copper is an element and will not break down in the environment and will therefore accumulate in
sediment with repeated applications. Copper is a micronutrient, but its pesticidal application rate exceeds the
amount of copper needed as a nutrient.
(NOTE: For use against Algae, Aquatic weeds/plants, Bacteria, Mollusks, Mussels and Snails, refer to the said section for
separate “Environmental Hazards” statements.)

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
FUNGICIDE/BACTERICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, this product contains a Group M01 fungicide/bactericide. Any fungal/bacterial population may
contain individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Group M fungicides/bactericides. A gradual or total loss of
pest control may occur over time if these fungicides/bactericides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate
resistance management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide/bactericide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group M fungicides/bactericides within a growing season sequence with different
groups that control the same pathogens.
• Use tank mixtures with fungicides/bactericide 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.
• Adopt an integrated disease management 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
IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company at (901) 774-4370. You can
also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.
AQUATIC HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
• Water bodies or management units should be scouted prior to application to identify the weed species present and their
growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. Water bodies or management units should be
scouted after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
* Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is
achieved on adjacent weeds;
* A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
* Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your Drexel Chemical
Company representative or call (901) 774-4370. If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a herbicide
having a different mechanism of action and/or use non-chemical means to remove escapes, as practical, with the
goal of preventing further reproduction.
• Implement the “Early Detection, Rapid Response Practice and Maintenance Control” by using the following practices
where possible:
* Identify weeds present in a management unit through scouting or history of the water body and understand the
biology of target species.
* Applications should target weeds when populations are small and there is low biomass, early in the season to
maximize efficacy.
* Applications should be made so that the herbicide contacts the weed. Use the appropriate application method
for the use site/weed/chemical combination.
* Weed escapes should not be allowed to go to seed or produce asexual vegetative propagules.
* Use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible incorporate multiple weed control
practices such as mechanical control, biological management practices, and rotation of MOAs.
* Time applications to have the highest probability for control and minimize need for follow-up control measures.
Apply during conditions that minimize herbicide degradation (light /temperature/microbes) and/or dissipation
(water exchange).
• Contact your local sales representative, local water management agency, or extension agent to find out if suspected
resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been
reported, use the application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank-mix products so that there
are multiple effective mechanisms of actions for each target weed.

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 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 manufacturer’s 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.
Page 6 of 53
AERIAL APPLICATIONS:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy or 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 wind speed 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.
• Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the application
area.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
• Apply with the spray release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet
above the ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.

FOR USE TO CONTROL ALGAE AND TADPOLE SHRIMP IN RICE FIELDS
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
• Apply 6.85 pounds of metallic copper (13.9 gals. of this product) per acre foot of water or 2.5 ppm per
application to control Algae and Tadpole shrimp.
• If Tadpole shrimp is not present, apply 2.74 pounds of metallic copper (5.5 gals. of this product) per acre foot
or 1 ppm per application.
• The maximum application rate must be no greater than 13.7 pounds of metallic copper (27.9 gals. of this
product) per acre-foot per year to control Tadpole shrimp.
• The maximum application rate must be no greater than 5.48 pounds of metallic copper (11.1 gals. of this
product) per acre-foot per year to control Algae in water-seeded Rice.
• For simultaneous control of both Algae and Tadpole shrimp, the maximum application rate must be no
greater than 13.7 pounds of metallic copper (27.9 gals. of this product) per acre-foot per year.
• Do not make more than 2 applications per year at no less than 14 days apart.
PRE-APPLICATION DOSE DETERMINATION
For Algae treatments, applicators should conduct initial dose determination tests simulating a full -scale
treatment program to determine the minimum efficacious concentrations for eliminating the target species,
unless an effective dose is already known for the given target pest population.
Page 11 of 53
APPLICATION
Apply this product at the first sign of Algae growth on the surface of the field or at any time Tadpole shrimp
appears between planting time and when the seedlings are well rooted and have emerged through the water.
Applications are most effective when made prior to Algae leaving the soil surface and rising to the water
surface. Factors such as water depth, temperature, pH, and the amount of algae can affect the amount of this
product required. This product can be metered into the Rice field as water is being applied into each paddy
when water is being held.
FOR USE AS A FUNGICIDE/BACTERICIDE ON GROWING AGRICULTURAL
COMMODITIES
USE INSTRUCTIONS
This product may be applied with any type of application equipment that gives uniform coverage of foliage,
including ground, aerial and low volume sprayers as specified on this label. Use application equipment that is
made of PVC or 316L stainless steel.
This product is compatible with most fungal and insecticidal biopesticides when applied at least 2 days before
or after application of the biopesticide(s). It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are
registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for
use on the product label involved in tank-mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and
precautionary statements of each product in the tank-mixture.
Phytotoxicity: Although this product has been tested on a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and nuts without
phytotoxicity, some varieties and cultivars may become sensitive to this product due to environmental factors
and stages of growth. Depending on the equipment used and the specific crop, the spray volume applied per
acre will differ. Refer to the table “MINIMUM SPRAY VOLUME” . Complete spray coverage is essential to
assure optimum performance from this product. When treating by aerial application or with Iow volume
application equipment, unless you have had specific previous experience, it is advisable to test for compatibility
and tolerance to crop injury prior to full scale commercial utilization.
Read this label for specific rates and timing of application by crop. Where application rates and intervals are
provided in a range (e.g., 2 to 4 fl. ozs. and 7 to 10 day intervals), use the higher specified rate and shorter
spray time intervals when rainfall is heavy and/or disease press ure is high. Use the higher specified rates for
large mature tree crops. The use of a surfactant such as Surf-AC® 820, Cell-U-WettTM are acceptable for plants
having waxy or hairy surfaces. This product works via surface contact with the plants and materials being
treated. It is important to ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly wetted. This product does not produce any
visible residue or have a distinct odor. It does have a residual, especially if applied with a surfactant.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
• DO NOT mix with acidic compounds such as fosetyl -aluminum within 14 days before or after application of
same.
• 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 this product resulting in possible phytotoxicity or loss of
effectiveness.
• This product may be reactive on masonry and metal surfaces such as galvanized roofing. Avoid contact with
metal surfaces. Do not spray on cars, houses or other metal surfaces susceptible to damage.
• DO NOT mix with potash.
• It must be determined in the selection process if proper application equipment is available and if the waste
associated with its use can be properly handled. Materials used in the construction of application equipment
is also an important factor as agricultural chemicals are often reactive with soft metals such as aluminum
and even some synthetic materials such as plastics, rubbers, etc. Therefore, it is necessary when using
equipment containing these materials that they be thoroughly flushed with clean water after each days use.

FOR USE AGAINST ALGAE, AQUATIC WEEDS/PLANTS, BACTERIA, MOLLUSKS, MUSSELS,
AND SNAILS
(NOT REGISTERED FOR USE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK)
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Waters treated with this product may be hazardous to
aquatic organisms. Treatment of aquatic weeds and algae can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of
dead algae and weeds. This oxygen loss can cause fish and invertebrate suffocation. To minimize this hazard,
do not treat more than one -half of the water body and wait at least 14 days between treatments to avoid
depletion of oxygen due to decaying vegetation (excluding water infrastructure and constructed conveyance
such as drainage and irrigation canals, ditches and pipelines or intakes and aqueducts for drinking water or
irrigation use). Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into
untreated areas. Consult with the State or local agency with primary responsibility for regulating pesticides
before applying to public waters to determine if a permit is required.
Certain water conditions including low pH (6.5), low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels (3.0 mg/L or lower),
and “soft” waters (i.e., alkalinity less than 50 mg/L) increases the potential acute toxicity.
Fish Advisory Statement: This copper product is toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Unlike most organic
pesticides, copper is an element and will not break down in the environment and will therefore accumulate
in sediment with repeated applications. Copper is a micronutrient, but its pesticidal application rate exceeds
the amount of copper needed as a nutrient.
USE DIRECTIONS
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR AQUATIC USE*
(*Excludes uses in swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, fountains, aquatic agriculture and livestock ponds.)
Waters treated with this product may be hazardous to aquatic organisms. Treatment of aquatic weeds and
algae can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead biomass. This oxygen loss can cause fish and
invertebrate suffocation. To minimize this hazard, do not treat more than one-half of the water body and wait at
least 14 days between treatments to avoid depletion of oxygen due to decaying vegetation (excluding water
infrastructure and constructed conveyances such as drainage canals, ditches and pipelines or intakes and
aqueducts for drinking water or irrigation use).
Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outward in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas.
Consult with the state or local agency with primary responsibility for regulating pesticides before applying to
public waters to determine if a permit is required.
Application of algaecides to high density blooms of cyanobacteria can result in the release of intracellular
contents into the water. Some of these intracellular compounds are known mammalian hepato - and nervous
system toxins. Therefore, to minimize the risk of toxin leakage, manage cyanobacteria effectively in order to
avoid applying this product when blooms of toxin -producing cyanobacteria are present at high density. In
situations where rapidly reproducing toxic algal species pose a public health threat to drinking or recreational
water resources, applicators must receive authorization from applicable state, local or tribal water resources
Page 44 of 53
authorities to apply copper at intervals shorter than 14 days should the circumstance demand.
Certain water conditions including low pH ( < S6.5), low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels (3.0 mg/L or
lower) and "soft" waters (i.e. alkalinity less than 50 mg/L) increases the potential acute toxicity to non -target
aquatic organisms. The application rates on this label are appropriate for water with pH values > 6.5, DOC
levels > 3.0 mg/L, and alkalinity greater than 50 mg/L. Avoid treating waters with pH values < 6.5, DOC levels
> 3.0, and alkalinity less than 50 ppm (e.g., soft or acid waters), as trout and other sensitive species of fish may
be killed under such conditions if present.
Consult your state department of natural resources or fish and game agency before applying this product to
public waters. Permits may be required before treating such waters.
PRE-APPLICATION DOSE DETERMINATION FOR ALGAE AND AQUATIC PLANT
TREATMENTS
For algae and aquatic plant treatments, applicators should conduct initial dose determination tests simulating
a full-scale treatment program to determine the minimum efficacious concentrations for eliminating the target
species, unless an effective dose is already known for the given target pest population.
FOR CONTROL OF BACTERIAL ODOR AND TOXIC GAS PRODUCED BY BACTERIAL ACTION
(Not registered for use in California)
Apply up to 1 gallon of this product per 60,000 gallons (8,000 cubic feet) of organic matter (sewage).
Application rates may vary depending on amounts of sewage in lagoons and pits. Apply by pouring this product
into the pit or lagoon. Several application points speed up dispersal. For faster results, disperse this product
evenly throughout sewage. Bacterial odors should be noticeably reduced in 1 to 2 weeks. Repeat application
when odors recur. Minimum retreatment interval is 14 days.
Feedlot Runoff Lagoons: Add a portion of the required dosage of this product at several locations around
the lagoon to speed dispersal of the product. A minimum of two applications per year (Spring and Fall) is
recommended. Additional applications may be required as needed or when the lagoon is pumped.
Animal Confinement Pits: If pits are located under the confinement buildings, add this product directly to
these pits. If the pits are outside, add this product to transfer line to the pit.
Organic Sludge Pits: Apply 1 gallon this product in 60,000 gallons of sludge. Mix thoroughly.

(*Not registered for use in California)
Apply this product through metering pump, sub -surface hoses or from a properly equipped moving boat into
the body of water. No more than one-half of the body of water may be treated in a single application.
For small ponds and ornamental water features and fountains, apply this product by directly pouring 2 fluid
ounces per 125 cubic feet (1/4 tsp./20 gals.) of water for 1 ppm of copper into the water around half of the
perimeter of the body of water.
When applying from boat, use minimal speed to allow the prop wash to disperse and mix the product into the
treated waters. Dispense up to 5.5 gallons per acre-foot of water (see “USE RATE” chart below). Apply in late
Spring or early Summer when algae/bacteria first appear. For best results, disperse this product evenly to
warm, still water on a sunny day when algae are near the surface. Several application points speed up
dispersal.
Page 45 of 53
Use rates vary, depending on algae/bacteria species, water hardness, water temperature, and amount of
algae/bacteria present; as well as whether water is clear, turbid, flowing or static. Preferably, the water should
be clear with temperatures above 60ºF (15.6ºC). Higher dosages are required at lower water temperatures,
higher algae/bacteria concentrations, and for hard waters. Static water requires less chemical for
algae/bacteria control than does flowing water. Use higher dosages for Chara, Nitella, and filamentous algae
(pond scum), and lower dosages for planktonic algae. If there is uncertainty about the dosage, begin with a
lower dose and increase until control is achieved or until the maximum allowable level has been reached. See
the “USE RATE” chart below.
Application Directions to Control Algae in Catfish Ponds
Copper can be applied throughout the spring and summer when water temperatures are consistently above
70°F when total alkalinity and hardness concentrations fall between 100 and 300 mg/L as CaCO3.
Applications are no longer needed in the Fall after fish are harvested or the average water temperatures fall
below 70°F. Apply mid-morning at a rate of 0.31 pounds metallic copper (0.6 gals. of this product) per acre foot
(0.11 ppm metallic copper). Place copper crystals in a cloth bag and then put the filled bag into another cloth
bag to slow the rate at which the copper dissolves. Suspend the double bagged unit of copper about 20 feet in
front of a paddlewheel aerator. Run the aerator until all the copper sulfate is dissolved; this usually requires an
hour or two. Use copper only if you plan to harvest fish before fall and anticipate problems with off -flavoring
algae.
Do not make routine copper treatments for Algae control in fingerling ponds or in broodfish ponds because off-
flavors are not a problem in those fish. Do not use this treatment regimen in waters of low hardness and
alkalinity (less than 50 ppm as CaCO3) because copper may stress or kill fish.
Application Directions to Control Ich in Earthen Catfish Ponds
To apply copper to control Ich in earthen Catfish ponds as static batch treatment, administer 0.27 to 0.69 pounds
metallic copper (0.5 to 1.4 gals. of this product) per acre foot (0.1 to 0.25 ppm or mg/L based on metallic copper
= 0.4 to 1 ppm or mg/L by product) per 100 mg/L total alkalinity (as CaCO3) as an indefinite exposure once daily
for 5 to 11 consecutive days.
Application Directions for Applying Copper to Water Mold on Catfish Eggs in the Hatchery

Before treating bodies of water, consult proper state authorities, such as the fisheries commission or
conservation department to obtain any necessary permits. Do not apply copper sulfate to water less than 40
ppm alkalinity without first testing for fish toxicity in a separate container.
Treatment of algae can result in oxygen loss from the decomposition of dead algae, which may cause fish
suffocation. Treat one -third to one -half of the water area in a single operation and wait 14 days between
treatments. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outward in bands to allow fish to move into untreated
areas. In regions where ponds freeze in Winter, treatment should be done 6 to 8 weeks before expected freeze
time to prevent masses of decaying algae under an ice cover.
The following are useful formula for calculating water volume and flow rates:
• To find the capacity of water storage containment in gallons, use the following formula:
Capacity of Water Storage Containment = Water Volume (cu. ft.) X 7.5
Note: 1 Cubic Foot per Second of Flow = 27,000 gallons per hour
1 Acre Foot = 326,000 gallons
•
• Calculate the Acre Foot of water in the body of water to be treated by calculating the surface area in
square feet. Then divide by 43,560 (sq.ft./acre) and then multiply by the average depth in feet.
1 Acre Foot of Water = an area of water measuring 43,560 sq. ft. x 1 foot deep
1 Acre Foot of Water = 43,560 cubic feet = 325,851.6 gallons
1 Cubic Foot of Water = 62.4 pounds
1 Acre Foot of Water = 43,560 x 62.4 = 2,720,000 pounds

BIOLOGICAL FISH PONDS AND AQUACULTURE SYSTEMS
(Not registered for use in California)
Before treating ponds containing fish with this product, measure total alkalinity (not hardness or pH). The
toxicity of copper to fish increases as the total alkalinity decreases. Sensitivity to copper varies between fish
species. For copper sensitive species, do not exceed 0.06 ppm metallic copper. When algae concentrations
are high, to avoid suffocation of fish after treatment, either treat in a series of smaller doses over time or have
emergency aeration available. Apply at the rate of 2 to 4 pints of this product per acre foot (326,000 gallons)
of water to yield concentrations ranging from 0.05 ppm to .09 ppm metallic copper, respectively. Metallic copper
concentration is directly proportional to amount of this product added per acre foot. A maintenance dose of 4
to 8 ounces per acre foot may be used every 14 days. The rate is dependent on water temperature, fish density
arid the degree of suppression targeted.
