- Product Highlight
- Broad-spectrum control of bacterial and fungal diseases, including fire blight, downy and powdery mildews, and angular leaf spot
- Low metallic copper equivalent (1/5-1/10 less than traditional coppers); gentle enough to use on copper sensitive crops including apples, strawberries, grapes, leafy vegetables and peaches – minimizing concerns for phytotoxicity
- Apply safely in season with no visible residue vs. traditional coppers
- Liquid copper formulation easily tank mixed with a wide range of products
- 4 hour REI, 0 day PHI, and a Caution signal word offering an unmatched worker safety profile and flexibility

- How It Works
Cueva fungicide concentrate is a patented, fixed copper fungicide made by combining a soluble copper with a fatty acid to form a true soap. This copper soap fungicide protects plants from a wide range of diseases, including downy and powdery mildews.
- Cueva’s small particle size efficiently releases copper ions when mixed with water.
- When applied, Cueva spreads evenly over the plant surface.
- With its built in fatty acid “tail,” Cueva enhances coverage.
- Cueva comes into contact with pathogen cells and breaks down cell walls.
- Plant surfaces are left clean and virtually pathogen free.
- How To Apply
• For best control, begin treatment before disease normally appears or when weather forecast predicts a long period of wet weather. Alternatively, begin treatment when disease first appears, and repeat at 7 to 10 day intervals for as long as needed.
• Time applications so that dry weather follows each application.
• Can be used through sprinkler irrigation, no adverse effects on aluminum pipes.
• Complete coverage is essential for disease control.- Direction For Use

Environmental Hazards
This product is toxic to fish and aquatic organisms and may contaminate water through runoff. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water by disposal of equipment washwaters or rinsate. This product may contaminate water through runoff. Poorly draining soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
