Nu-Cop® 3L

On most crops, sprays can be applied with conventional dilute sprays in aerial application unless specifically prohibited on the label. Recommended use rates are generally stated in lbs. of NU-COP® 3L per acre sprayed. When using each type of sprayer, follow that equipment manufacturer’s recommendation, or that of the State Extension Service for the volume of spray water per acre on each crop. Mix the recommended lbs. of NU-COP® 3L for each crop in sufficient spray water for thorough coverage of the crop to be sprayed.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT

A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and the method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.

DROPLET SIZE

Apply only as a medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.

WIND SPEED

Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph), and there are no sensitive areas within 250 feet downwind.

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS

If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.

OTHER STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of copper compounds. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.

EQUIPMENT

All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates.

FOR AERIAL APPLICATION

The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety.

When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath must be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this displacement at the up and downwind edge of the application by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.

FOR GROUND APPLICATION

Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
