Norkem Copper Sulphate 25kg

The Norkem Copper Sulphate 25kg is a naturally occurring chemical compound, also known as Copper (II) Sulphate, Bluestone or Blue Vitriol. A common salt of copper, it can be found in a variety of forms which are differentiated by their level of hydration. It can be used in infrequent doses as a fertiliser to help correct copper deficiencies in soil, identifiable by a yellowing of plant leaves. In addition, it works brilliantly as a preventative fungicide. When mixed with slaked lime, copper sulphate is known as a Bordeaux Mixture. This mix is commonly used to prevent fungus growing on for example: grapes, melons and berries. Copper sulphate is also particularly effective against the roots of water-dwelling plants. This makes it ideal for killing unwanted plants in places like sewers and it is used as an algaecide in outdoor swimming pools and ponds. It’s not just plants that can benefit from copper sulphate’s anti-fungus properties. Cattle, sheep and horses can all receive foot baths containing the chemical to help prevent and treat fungus.
