Copper sulfate (copper sulfate, copper sulfate) - blue crystals, containing 24% copper. Means of contact action. It does not accumulate in plant tissues, so its use does not have a negative effect on the fruits of crops.
Copper sulfate of group A 1st grade.
Application:
- for spraying fruit, berry, decorative trees and shrubs in order to isolate the areas of the bark from the negative effects of the environment;
– for feeding plants — a source of copper and sulfur (on peatlands, sandstones). feed the plants with copper sulfate 3-4 times per season, spraying them with a working solution at the rate of 1 teaspoon of the substance per bucket of water.
- in construction for etching wooden and reinforced concrete structures made of wood, brick, concrete, etc. (100 g/1 liter of water).
- as a means for hygienic and aesthetic treatment of surfaces.
Preparation of the solution:
3-5% solutions are considered caustic. They are used to decontaminate the soil and eliminate mold. This is a fairly concentrated mixture, so the land treated with it can be used no earlier than a year later. For production, dissolve 300-500 g of copper sulfate in 10 liters of water.
0.5-1% solutions are considered therapeutic and preventive. They are used to fight fungal diseases, pests and to treat cuts on twigs and tree bark. To prepare such a solution, 50-100 g of copper sulfate crystals are dissolved in 10 liters of water.
0.02-0.03% solution is the weakest concentration used as fertilizer and top dressing for various garden crops. To obtain such a concentration, you need to dissolve only 2-3 grams of copper sulfate crystals in 10 liters of water.
