Controls a wide range of diseases on fruit, vegetables and ornamentals. Yates® Liquid Copper is an easy to use, broad-spectrum, copper fungicide and bactericide.
The unique formulation provides real advantages over conventional copper fungicides - the ultra-fine particle size provides a denser, more impenetrable protective barrier to disease infection, without the unsightly blue residue.
It doesn't crystallise in the sprayer tank like conventional copper options, so it won't sludge up your spray nozzle.
It's easy to use and 100% water soluble - Yates® Liquid Copper forms an 'aquagel' with its own built-in spreading and sticking ability.
