Green Earth® BORDO Copper Spray is a wettable powder with improved suspension for control of certain plant diseases. Apply with hand or tank sprayer. Mix thoroughly with water (reference chart on container – mix amount indicated in 1 L of water / applied over minimum 10 m2 area). Agitate mixture while spraying. Thoroughly wet all foliage and stems. May apply up to 1 day before harvest. Avoid application when winds are gusty. May stain paint, stone or brick. DO NOT apply product in a way that will contact adults, children or pets, either directly or through drift. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. DO NOT apply to any body of water.
Environmental Hazards:
Toxic to birds, small wild mammals, aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
Precautions:
Store in cool, dry ventilated place away from feeds and foods. May irritate eyes, nose, throat and skin and discolour skin. Avoid contact with these areas and avoid breathing dust or spray mist. Do not contaminate any body of water. Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. DO NOT allow adults, children or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.
