Overview

Vitax Copper Mixture 175g is an inorganic micronutrient fertiliser formulated to supply copper, manganese and zinc to crops showing recognised trace element deficiencies. It is suitable for a range of fruit and vegetable crops, including potatoes, beans, peas, beets, brassicas, carrots, celery, fruit and onions.

The powder is mixed with water and applied directly to the foliage, allowing the nutrients to be absorbed during periods of active growth. The declared trace-element analysis is 2.8% copper, 3.0% manganese and 2.1% zinc. One 175g pack makes up to 9 litres of spray, with a convenient small-area dilution of 30g in 1.5 litres of water.

Why We Love It

• Three trace elements in one: supplies copper, manganese and zinc.

• Targeted nutrition: intended specifically for crops where there is a recognised need for these micronutrients.

• Foliar application: nutrients are applied directly to good leaf coverage during active growth.

• Useful for edible crops: suitable for a broad selection of fruit and vegetables.

• Good pack performance: one 175g pack makes up to 9 litres of spray.

How to Use

Mixing

Pre-mix the required amount of Copper Mixture with a small quantity of water in a plastic bucket or other suitable container.

Mix thoroughly, then add further water to reach the final required volume while stirring continuously.

For smaller areas, use:

30g Copper Mixture in 1.5 litres of water.

The complete 175g pack is sufficient to make up to 9 litres of spray.

Application

Apply immediately using a suitable garden sprayer. Spray the foliage evenly to achieve good leaf coverage without drenching the plants.

Begin treatment during periods of active growth when there is sufficient leaf coverage to absorb the nutrients.

For best results, apply during the early morning or evening.

Repeat Application

Where a severe trace-element deficiency persists, treatment may be repeated as necessary at 3-week intervals.

Do not make more than 3 applications per season and do not exceed 12kg/ha of product per season.

After Use

Do not leave diluted Copper Mixture standing after preparation. Use the mixture immediately and wash the sprayer thoroughly after application.

Trace Element Analysis

Declared Trace Element	Total Content
Copper	2.8%
Manganese	3.0%
Zinc	2.1%

Vitax Copper Mixture should be used only where there is a recognised need for these trace elements. Do not exceed the recommended application rates.

Understanding Trace Element Deficiencies

Copper Mixture is intended to help address specific micronutrient deficiencies rather than act as a general-purpose plant feed.

Copper deficiency can occur in beets, onions and top fruit grown on peaty, sandy and shallow organic chalk soils.

Manganese deficiency can affect crops including potatoes, beans, peas, beets, brassicas, carrots, celery, fruit and onions. It can occur in peaty soils above pH 6.0 and mineral soils above pH 6.5.

Zinc deficiency can occur in fruit crops grown on sandy soils with high pH and phosphate levels.

Perfect For

• Potatoes

• Beans and peas

• Beets

• Brassicas

• Carrots and celery

• Onions

• Fruit crops

• Crops with a recognised copper, manganese or zinc deficiency

Good to Know

Avoid applying Copper Mixture during extreme temperatures, very bright sunlight or drought conditions. Early morning or evening application is recommended.

Copper Mixture may damage some fruit varieties. Before treating a large area, apply it to a small number of plants first and observe them for signs of damage.

This product is a micronutrient fertiliser for correcting trace-element deficiencies. It should not be presented or used as a fungicide or pesticide treatment.

Safety & Storage

Avoid breathing dust and protect your eyes and face when handling the product. Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after use.

Keep out of reach of children and store securely in the original, tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated and frost-free location, away from foodstuffs.

Copper Mixture is hazardous to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Prevent the product and diluted mixture from entering drains, ponds or waterways. Always read and follow the current product label before use.
