Southern Ag Liquid Copper Fungicide, 1 Gallon - Broad Spectrum Control

Our review of Southern Ag Liquid Copper Fungicide, 1 Gallon finds it best suited to gardeners and turf managers who need a reliable, multipurpose contact fungicide that also controls algae and moss. The single biggest reason to consider this product is its strong active content: a 31.4% copper ammonium complex (8% metallic copper equivalent) that delivers visible control of bacterial and fungal leaf spots, rusts and blights while also treating moss on live oaks and algae in turfgrass. It is a concentrated liquid that mixes with water and is formulated to work with common hose end sprayers, making repeat applications practical for larger lawns and orchards.

Key Features

• High copper content: The 31.4% copper ammonium complex provides effective contact control of many bacterial and fungal diseases on fruits, vegetables and ornamentals.
• Multi-use labeling: Labeled for use on many fruits, vegetables, turfgrasses and ornamentals, so one product can cover several treatment needs around the landscape.
• Moss and algae control: Specific rates and directions include moss control on live oaks and algae control in turfgrass, providing targeted treatment options.
• Hose end friendly formulation: The new formulation is intended to work well with hose end sprayers, simplifying application over large areas.
• Concentrated rates: The concentrate mixes with water and has specified rates for common crops, allowing careful calibration for peaches, tomatoes and ornamentals.

Who It's For

This fungicide is aimed at home orchardists, vegetable gardeners, and lawn caretakers dealing with recurrent fungal or bacterial leaf diseases, as well as property owners battling moss in live oaks or algae in turfgrass. The product's concentrated formulation and compatibility with hose end sprayers make it a practical choice where treating larger square footage is required.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need a systemic, absorbed product for long-term internal protection or anyone who requires premixed convenience ready-to-use applications; this product is a contact copper treatment that must be mixed and applied as a cover spray according to the label.
