Yates Leaf Greener Copper Chelate is an easy-to-use liquid trace element. It corrects copper deficiency. Copper deficiency is indicated by yellowing of younger leaves and die-back of tips in young shoots. This deficiency is more common in sandy or acidic soils than in clay soils. Recommended as a foliar application, this delivers copper directly to the deficient leaves for faster results. Foliar applications also result in much lower copper additions into the soil when compared to traditional soil drench applications, resulting in less wastage and lower risk of soil toxicity.
Features
- Works differently from other chelates
- Releases nutrients gradually to minimise leaf burn
- A targeted solution for fast results
- Sticks firmly to foliage and is rain-fast in 2-3 hours
Ingredient
- Copper (Cu) as copper lignosulfonate chelate 1.25% w / v
How to Use
General Application
Application – Alleviate copper deficiency symptoms
Method – Foliar spray: Recommended* – Spray to lightly wet the leaves, before runoff. NOT for stone fruit
Rate – Mix 10-15ml in 1L water. Apply with garden sprayer
Frequency – Every 2-4 weeks
Timing – Apply when symptoms appear. Reapply as necessary
Area – 1L/15m2 depending on size of plant canopy
Stone Fruit
Application – Alleviate copper deficiency symptoms
Method – Soil drench: Only recommended for stone fruit
Rate – Mix 15-30ml in 5L water. Apply with watering can
Frequency – Every 2-4 weeks
Timing – Apply when symptoms appear. Reapply as necessary
Area – 5L/5m2 – apply to moist soil around plant
Apply to leaves as a fine mist. For optimum results reassess plant symptons every few weeks to decide if further applications are necessary. Begin treatment as soon as symptons become visible or early in the growing season if a deficiency is known to exist. It is best to apply many smaller amounts rather than a single large amount.
