Copper Sulfate

Copper sulfate uses/applications:

1. Fertilizers and fungicides

Fertilizer grade copper sulfate is often used to increase the copper content of the soil. This helps improve peat and acidic soils, which create the right climate for plant growth. Additionally, copper sulfate can be used to combat mildew, leaf spot, blight and apple scab on fruit trees, nut trees and vegetables.

2. Pest Control

The Bordeaux Copper Sulphate Blend coating can be applied directly to tree trunks to kill snails and slugs, and copper sulphate also prevents mold and fungus from damaging plants.

3. Animal feed

Feed grade copper sulfate powder provides a water-soluble, readily available form of copper, an essential micronutrient for crops. For livestock, copper sulfate is a valuable dietary supplement in mixed feed for cattle, swine, poultry and other livestock. Copper sulfate is used as an additive in animal feed to promote animal growth and correct copper deficiency so that animals receive a balanced diet.

4. Water treatment

Copper Sulphate purifies water and safely eliminates weeds and the odors they cause. As an algicide, it is used in waters from swimming pools to lakes and reservoirs.

5. Mining

Copper sulfate is widely used in the mining industry as a reagent in the flotation process to separate minerals such as zinc, silver and lead.

6. Others

What does copper sulfate do?

Due to its chemical composition, fertilizer grade copper sulfate is very beneficial in resolving overly alkaline environments, repairing plant fungi, unwanted root growth, algae growth and more.

The copper in copper sulfate binds to proteins in fungi and algae. This damages the cells, causing them to leak and die. In snails, copper disrupts the normal function of skin cells and enzymes.

Using tips on fertilizer grade copper sulfate

When using copper sulfate over large areas of land or water, be sure to follow the directions for the type of copper sulfate you are using. Different forms, such as liquids and powders, will have different measurements depending on the area in which they are used.

When handling copper sulfate, boots, gloves and goggles should always be worn to minimize the risk of exposure or ingestion.
