Bonide Liquid Copper Fungicide RTU decomposes to form soluble copper, and fatty
acid, both of which can be used by microbes and plants.
Fixed copper is one of the oldest fungicides and bactericides, used to control a wide
range of plant diseases. Bonide Liquid Copper Fungicide RTU is a patented, fixed
copper fungicide, made by combining a soluble copper fertilizer with a naturally-occurring
fatty acid. The copper and the fatty acid combine to form a copper salt of the fatty acid,
known technically as a true soap. The copper soap fungicide controls many common
diseases using low concentrations of copper, down as low as 90 ppm. The net result is
an excellent vegetable, fruit and ornamental fungicide. Bonide Liquid Copper Fungicide
RTU is suited for use in domestic circumstances, both indoors and outdoors.
