Has anyone had any experience with Kocide? Did it cause leaf burns or not and what concentration did you use? The PM is bad in the East this year. Thanks Dave

kocide is a great source to halt powdery mildew in its tracks
problem is you should only use it a couple times because it can and at times will burn leaves ( especially the new growth )
use at a rate of one and a half table spoons per gallon

Kocide is Copper Hydroxide. It's the same as Nu-Cop etc.

Copper is hot stuff. Both for plants & applicators.

It's the same material that is popularly applied at one half the low rate, two times, 24 hours apart in certain parts of New Hampshire that we discussed.

I would really consider this to be an absolute last resort.
