Default Cooper Fungicide

Yes. Copper sulphate in certain formulations is approved for bacterial
canker, bacterial spot. Most effective for brown rot of fruits. There
are also copper hydroxide and copper oxychloride formulations .

One other question: Copper is a fungicide but does it have
anti-bacterial actions as I was under the impression that canker can be
cuased by bacteria? Though the RHS site recommends copper for canker on
fruit trees.
Just checking Im applying a correct therapy.
