| Hello, all. Just wondering about the pros and cons of spraying for fungus with copper sulfate. I know it is touted as an effective treatment for various fungi. But what about drawbacks? Can it harm a mango tree if one isn't careful?
Thank you. |

| if used correctly spray copper is safe to use, copper itself is organic, sometimes copper sprays are not though (they have chemical surfactants that help them adhere to leaves) i wouldnt go spray happy with copper if you see fungus unless its on a variety that is known to be susceptible, like Julie here in south Florida |
