Generally the 10-10-100 works well for many disease-causing pathogens. Among its many uses are applications in fall to control the overwintering fire blight inoculum in pears and apples, leaf curl and shot hole pathogens in peach and nectarine, downy mildew and powdery mildew fungi in grapes, peacock spot pathogen in olives, walnut blight bacteria in walnut, and black spot fungus in roses. Because Bordeaux colors the sprayed plants blue and may discolor house paint, it is not used as often on ornamental plants as it is on trees, vines, or agricultural plants.
The 50 pound Copper Sulfate CRYSTALS-EPA Label that we sell has an EPA approved number on the bag. There are full instructions on the bag to do all that our site talks about.
The 50 pound bag of Copper Sulfate Fine-Feed Grade, the 10 pound bags of Copper Sulfate Fine-Feed Grade and Crystals Ag Grade and the 200 gram bottle do NOT have the EPA label on them and therefore have NO CLAIMS for Algae Control, Killing Roots, Fungicide, or Bordeaux Mix. If you are purchasing a 10 or 50 pound bag of Copper Sulfate Feed Grade or Ag Grade, it is just simply labeled "Copper Sulfate - Feed Grade" or "Copper Sulfate - Ag Grade" and is to be used for the dozens of other non-EPA uses for Copper Sulfate listed under our "Other Uses" page.
