clothes and shoes and immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. See a
physician.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic
organisms. For terrestrial uses do not apply directly to water, or to areas whose surface
water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff
from treated areas may be hazardous to fish and aquatic organisms in adjacent aquatic
sites. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this
product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will
contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected
handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your
State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in a cool dry place. Do not contaminate
water, food or feed by storage or disposal. Open dumping is prohibited. Do not reuse empty
container. If container is damaged, place container in a plastic bag. Shovel any spills
into plastic bag and seal with tape. Container Disposal: Completely empty
liner by shaking and tapping sides and bottom to loosen clinging particles. Empty residue
in application equipment. Then dispose of liner in a sanitary landfill or by incineration
if allowed by State and local authorities. Pesticide Disposal: Wastes
resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste
disposal facility.
CHEMIGATION
Refer to supplementary label for Use
Direction for Chemigation. Do not apply this product through any irrigation systems unless
supplementary labeling on chemigation is followed. Supplemental labeling entitled:
SUPPLEMENTAL LABELING, BASIC COPPER SULFATE, E.P.A. Reg. Number 46923-2, E.P.A. Est.
Number 46923-NJ-01, CHEMIGATION
NOTE: Copper-based products
may be corrosive to aluminum equipment. Follow supplemental label information.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Notice: Follow all
directions carefully. Timing and methods of application, weather, crop conditions,
mixtures with other chemicals not specifically recommended and other influencing factors
in the use of this product are beyond the control of the Seller. Buyer assumes all risks
of use, storage and handling of this material when not in strict accordance with the
direction given on this label.
Recommended Mixing Directions:
Fill the spray tank about half full of water
and with agitator running add the required amount of Basic Copper Sulfate. Add water to
fill the tank to 3/4 full and when a spreader stick is recommended, add the proper amount
according to manufacturer's recommendation. Fill the spray tank and keep agitator running
until the spraying is completed.
NOTE TO USER: In some cases it may
be desirable to omit oil from the spray mixture or use an alternative product other than
dormant flowable oil. Consult the recommendation of the oil or other product for proper
rate and timing.
The specific instructions on the back panel are
based on general applications. The recommendations of local Agricultural Experiment
Stations should be closely followed as to timing, frequency and number of sprays.
BASIC COPPER SULFATE is intended for use in a range
of spray volumes. Recommendations on this label reflect common practice. If it is
desirable to use spray volumes other than dilute in solutions not specifically addressed
on this label, do so only after developing direct knowledge, prior utilization or test, of
effect on target crop.

Complete spray coverage is essential
to assure full performance from BASIC COPPER SULFATE. When treating on a concentrate basis
or by aerial applications, unless you have had specific previous experience, it is
advisable to test for compatibility and crop tolerance prior to full scale commercial
utilization.
When selecting a use rate for BASIC COPPER
SULFATE, never apply less per acre than the amount recommended per 100 gallons unless
specifically instructed by the label.
While volume is important in obtaining fully spray
coverage, often factors such as foliage density, environmental conditions and sprayer
calibration have a greater impact. Always be sure sprayers are calibrated to manufacturers
specifications and environmental conditions are within those recommended by state and
local regulatory authorities.
Per acre use rates of BASIC COPPER SULFATE for
citrus, tree crops and vines are calculated on a dilute spray basis. Actual pounds of
BASIC COPPER SULFATE/A should be determined by multiplying the rate/100 gallons times the
minimum recommended dilute spray volume. Example: For Citrus Brown Rot - 1.0 pound/100
gallons x 4 to 8 (dilute spray volume 400 to 800 gallons) = 4.0 to 8.0 pounds of BASIC
COPPER SULFATE per A. The per acre use rate of BASIC COPPER SULFATE is applicable for both
dilute and concentrate spraying. Use sufficient water for thorough coverage.
Spreaders/stickers may be used as dictated by local practices and conditions.

planting, but before emergence may help decrease infections of Angular Leaf Spot,
Anthracnose and Alternaria Leaf Spot. Then follow above schedule after emergence. Note:
Some Agricultural Experiment Stations may 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 defloration under some conditions. Consult
your local Experiment Station for specific recommendations. |
