Physical Description:
Copper Sulphate is a pale blue powder, crystalline or granular material.
Uses:
Copper Sulphate is an animal remedy (dietary copper supplement) for use in
dairy cows to prevent and treat copper deficiency in livestock. It is also
used as a fertiliser additive to increase pasture copper levels. Copper
sulphate can also be dissolved in water and sprayed onto pasture or crops
as an alternative method of getting copper into grazing animals.
Benefits:
Animal Health - copper sulphate is a convenient method of providing
supplementary dietary copper to animals.
Fertiliser - copper levels in some soils are naturally low. Copper
deficiencies in cereals causes decreased cereal grain size. Applications of
copper sulphate to wheat and barley can increase the grain plumpness and
grain size. Some cropping soils are naturally low in copper. Ensure your
cereal crop is not deficient in copper by herbage testing or visually
inspecting your crop. If deficiency symptoms are present, apply copper
sulphate as a foliar solution.
Application:
Animal Health - Copper Sulphate can be administered as an oral drench,
through the drinking water or added to supplementary feed. For dose rates
please consult your veterinarian. It can also be dissolved in water and
sprayed onto pasture as a foliar application, at a rate of 2kg/ha. Foliar
application should be done in the autumn, winter or early spring, as these
are the periods of peak requirement. The foliar application can also be
applied at the same rate to pasture that is due to be cut, or has just be
cut, for hay, silage or baleage.
Fertiliser for pasture - copper sulphate can be added to fertiliser and
applied directly to pasture to elevate herbage copper concentrations. For
sheep and cattle, rates are an initial application of 5-10kg/ha in autumn,
followed by 6.25 kg/ha applied in the autumn every 4-5 years. For deer
rates are 12kg/ha annually. Copper takes at least a month to get into
herbage through the fertiliser so to ensure adequate levels have been
reached in the herbage, test the herbage 4-6 weeks after application.
Fertiliser for crops - copper sulphate can be applied directly to soil pre
-sowing at 5-10kg/ha, which may result in a long-term residual effect.
Under dryland cereal cropping, broadcast application of copper sulphate may
be ineffective due to low soil moisture. Foliar applications of copper
sulphate need to be made with caution, as it is extremely toxic. Thus it is
advisable to dilute to 0.75-1.0 kg/ha in 200 litres of water and repeat to
avoid toxicity. [Another option is to apply a chelated-copper (Supa-Cu) at
1-4 litres/ha in 200 litres of water.] These applications are proving to be
most effective when applied at the mid to late tillering stage.
Meat and milk withholding periods for animals: NIL
Compatibility:
Animal Health - Copper Sulphate can be mixed with most other oral
nutritional animal health products, except magnesium chloride. It is
soluble in water so can be administered through the drinking water, however
it can be corrosive to machinery so check with your equipment supplier
first.
Fertiliser - Copper Sulphate is hygroscopic, therefore may not mix well
with granular NPK fertilisers while mixing with superphosphate may produce
insoluble compounds with low copper availability.
Do not administer to animals at the same time as using high doses of zinc
for facial eczema prevention (North Island only), as copper supplementation
may interfere with the protective effects of zinc.
Storage & Handling:
Copper Sulphate is mildly irritant, so care should be taken to avoid
contact with eyes. Store in a cool, dry covered facility, and ensure that
the bag is closed properly after use.
