General Warning: Excessive use of copper can result in phytotoxic damage to vegetative growth and fruit. Do not exceed dosage rates. Shake container before use.
Bud break to fruit set: 1.5 L per Canopy Ha, 4 - 5 applications, Fruit set to harvest, 1 L per Canopy Ha, no more than 4 applications. Post harvest, 1.5 L per canopy Ha. Repeat at leaf fall if there is a gap of 10 or more days between events. Dormant period, 1 – 3 applications at 1.5 L per Canopy Ha. Give priority to coverage during and immediately after winter pruning.
Ensure at least 10 days between applications, best if applied before a wet weather event, or immediately thereafter (but do not apply when canopy is wet).

Withholding period: Do not apply later than 7 days before harvest.
From bud break to end of growing season: 8 – 10 mls per 10 L water, no more than 9 applications and ensure at least 10 days between applications.
Monitor plants for any sign of phytotoxicity and defer further applications should this occur. Target wet weather events (but do not apply when plants are wet).
Cover entire canopy of each plant or vine but avoid spraying to wet or to run off, especially when spraying young plants or vines with a hand held, or back pack sprayer. Check sprayer set up and calibration. Use fine droplet nozzles. Avoid the use of stickers/adjuvants.
Avoid applying in high temperatures ( > 24ºC ) and bright sunshine, or when the canopy is wet.
Treat preferably during early morning or late evening. After fruit set allow an interval of at least 1 month following the use of an alternative copper product before applying COPTYZIN.
