Instructions and Information

Cuprofix Ultra 40 Disperss may be applied as an aerial, ground dilute or ground concentrate spray unless specifically directed otherwise in the specific crop use directions. The per acre use rate of Cuprofix Ultra 40 Disperss is applicable for both dilute and concentrate spraying. Depending upon the equipment used and the specific crop, the spray volume applied per acre will differ. Refer to the Minimum Spray Mix Volume Table. Complete spray coverage is essential to assure optimum performance from Cuprofix Ultra 40 Disperss. When treating by aerial application, or with low volume application equipment, unless you have had specific previous experience, it is advisable to test for compatibility and tolerance to crop injury prior to full-scale commercial utilization. While volume is important in obtaining full spray coverage, often factors such as foliage density, environmental conditions and sprayer calibrations, have a greater impact. Always be sure that sprayers are calibrated to spray equipment manufacturer’s specifications and environmental conditions are within those recommended by state and local regulatory authorities. Consult this Cuprofix Ultra 40 Disperss label for specific rates and timing of application by crop. Where application rates are provided in a range (3 to 6 pounds), the higher rates are recommended when rainfall is heavy and/or disease pressure high. Under heavy disease pressure or when conditions favor such, use the higher rate and shorter spray intervals specified for each crop. In addition, use the higher rates for large mature tree crops. When mixing, fill spray tank half full with water. Add Cuprofix Ultra 40 Disperss to tank while hydraulic or mechanical agitation is operating and continue filling with water. Spreaders, stickers (cleared for application to growing crops,) nutrients, etc. should be added last. If compatibility is in question, use the Compatibility Jar Test before mixing a whole tank. NOTE: Do not apply Cuprofix Ultra 40 Disperss in a spray solution having a pH of less than 6.5 as phytotoxicity may occur. NOTE: If tank-mixing Cuprofix Ultra 40 Disperss with a benzimidazole type fungicide, do a jar test to check for full compatibility. Do not allow the spray mixture to remain in the tank for an extended period of time

Spray Drift Management

A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.

Droplet Size

Apply only as a medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles..

Wind Speed

Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph), and there are no sensitive areas within 250 feet downwind.

Temperature

Inversions If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.

Other State and Local Requirements

Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of copper compounds. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
