NU-COP® XLR is a unique high bioavailable (HiBio®) formulation that can be applied as a protectant or preventative product to the plant surface prior to the disease occurring. NU-COP® XLR inhibits fungal spore germination and mycelial growth through the release of free copper ions (Cu+2) from the applied cooper.

Functions: Fungicide

Application Technique: Aerial Application, Chemigation, Ground Soil Applied

Applications & Uses

Product Use Instructions

Use NU-COP® XLR as noted below. NU-COP® XLR is adaptable to spraying from all types of spray equipment. Depending on the equipment used and the specific crop, the volume applied per acre will differ. For dilute, high volume sprays use from 25 to 100 gallons of water per acre for most vegetable crops, 400 to 800 GPA for fruit and nut crops, and up to 1500 gallons per acre as may be required for large citrus groves. For aerial spraying, 3 to 15 GPA are commonly used. For concentrate ground sprays, apply from 5 to 20 gallons per acre for vegetable crops and 25 to 100 gallons per acre for fruit and nut crops. Add NU-COP® XLR slowly to spray tank partially filled with water. Spreader-stickers, insecticides, nutrients, etc. should be added last. NU-COP® XLR is compatible with commercially formulated spreader-stickers, oils and such insecticides as carbaryl and other fungicides. Observe all cautions and limitations on label of all products used in mixtures.

FROST INJURY PROTECTION

Bacterial Ice nucleation inhibitor—Application of NU-COP® XLR made to all crops listed on this label at rates and stages of growth indicated on this label at least 24 hours and not more than 72 hours prior to anticipated frost conditions, will afford control of ice nucleating bacteria (Pseudomonas syringae, Erwinia herbicola, and Pseudomonas fluorescens) and may thereby provide some protection against light frost. The degree of frost protection will vary with weather conditions and other factors. Not recommended for those geographical areas where weather conditions favor severe frost.

Product Use Rate

GRAPES

DISEASE APPLICATION RATE (pints/Acre) MINIMUM DAYS RETREATMENT INTERVAL COMMENTS

Black Rot

Powdery Mildew

Downy Mildew

Phomopsis

1.8–24.0 3

Apply at budbreak with additional applications throughout the rainy season, depending on the disease severity.

(Attention: Slight to severe foliage injury may occur on copper-sensitive varieties such as Concord, Delaware, Niagara, and Rosette.)

RESTRICTIONS

Maximum single application rate is 24 pt/A (3.0 lbs metallic copper equivalent)

Maximum annual application rate is 160 pt/A (20.0 lbs metallic copper equivalent)

ALMONDS

DISEASE APPLICATION RATE (pints/Acre) MINIMUM DAYS RETREATMENT INTERVAL COMMENTS

Bloom/Growing Season:

Coryneum Blight Blossom Brown Rot

6.0–12.0 5

Use during the early bloom stage (popcorn). A second application in late dormant before foliage buds swell may be necessary when frequent rainfall occurs. To avoid plant injury, do not use above rate after bloom.

NOTE: Foliar injury may occur from post-bloom sprays.

Dormant to Pink Bud Season:

Bacterial Blast (Pseudomonas)

8.5–64.0 7 Use at dormant to early pink bud. For blast control in sprinkler irrigated orchards or where disease is severe, apply 2–4 sprays or as many as required at 1 to 4 pints per acre at 2-week post-bloom intervals or just before sprinkling. Slight leaf injury may occur from post-bloom spray.
RESTRICTIONS

Maximum single dormant application rate is 64 pt/A (8.0 lbs. metallic copper equivalent)

Maximum single bloom/growing application rate is 12.0 pt/A (1.5 lbs. metallic copper equivalent)

Maximum annual application rate is 144 pt/A (18.0 lbs metallic copper equivalent)

  WALNUTS

DISEASE APPLICATION RATE (pints/Acre) MINIMUM DAYS RETREATMENT INTERVAL COMMENTS

Walnut Blight

8.4–32.0 7

Apply first spray at early pre-bloom when catkins are partially expanded. Make three additional applications during bloom and early nutlet stages at 7 to 10 day intervals. Additional applications may be necessary when frequent rainfall occurs.

RESTRICTIONS

Maximum single application rate is 32 pt/A (4.0 lbs metallic copper equivalent)

Maximum annual application rate is 256 pt/A (32.0 lbs metallic copper equivalent)
