Do not allow adults, children or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact adults, children or pets, either directly or through drift.
Application Directions:
Shake well before use. Most conventional liquid pesticide plant sprayers can be used to apply Natural Guard Brand by Fertilome Copper Soap Fungicide Concentrate to plants. Mix 0.5 to 2.0 fluid ounces of product in a gallon of water. Unless otherwise stated in specific application notes, apply 1.1 to 2.3 gallons of diluted spray per 1,000 sq. ft. For best control, start spraying before the disease is visible or when disease is first visible on the plant. Spray all plant parts thoroughly (top and bottom of leaves), and repeat every 7 to 10 days. Use the higher rate to control diseases that may go dormant and overwinter. See application notes for the specific crop application interval. If possible, time applications so that at least 12 hours of dry weather follows application. Reapply after rain, following the application interval in the application notes.
When powdery mildew presence is expected on a plant, spray the plants at the minimum application interval during the first 2 weeks after emergence.
To control downy mildews, leaf and fruit spots, blights, and rust, begin treatment 2 weeks before disease normally appears or when weather forecasts predict a long period of wet weather. Alternatively, begin treatment when disease first appears, and repeat as long as needed.
To prevent fruit rots, apply at the start of flowering and continue every 7 to 10 days until harvest. Fungicidal sprays are especially warranted when weather forecasts predict a long period of wet weather.

Do not use more than 391 fl.oz./1000 sq. ft. per year on turf or more than 373 fl. oz./1000 sq. ft. per year on ornamentals.

Just what I expected!!
By Thomas on 06/12/2022
I have been using this product for a few years to control tomato blight and it works well. I like this particular brand because it can be used in organic gardening. I previously purchased this locally, but I bought it here and had it shipped for the same price that I could purchase it locally. I received it within a week of purchase. Very convenient!
I have grown patches in 2 year old sod. tall fescue. I assume it's rhizoctavia (if I'm saying this right)
Ferti-lome Natural Guard Copper Soap Fungicide will not work on Rhizoctonia or Brown Patch Fungus. If you are treating for that disease I would use Clearys 3336 then rotate to Azoxystrobin or Eagle 20.
Ferti-lome Natural Guard Copper Soap Fungicide is safe for insects when used as directed on the product label. It could harm bees if contact is made, so we would recommend applying in the early morning or later in the evening then they are not in the area and less active.
Ferti-lome Natural Guard Copper Soap Fungicide is not labeled to use on Podocarpus under ornamentals.
Ferti-lome Natural Guard Copper Soap Fungicide is OMRI certified so it is safe for organic gardening and it may be used up until the day of harvest.
