Re: Apple-Crop: copper fungicides for organic apples?

[Win Cowgill]

Dave Champ WG copper is labeled under OMRI- they list the following: Champ WG Classification: Crop Pest, Weed, and Disease Control Category: Coppers – fixed Restriction: May be used for plant disease control if the requirements of 205.206(e) are met, which requires the use of preventative, mechanical, physical, and other pest, weed, and disease management practices. Must be used in a manner that minimizes copper accumulation in the soil and shall not be used as herbicides. I will send you the lable off the cdms site.
