How safe is copper-oil-fungicide?
I have a dwarf peach tree that's had perrenial peach leaf curl. More
than 20 years ago I bought a plastic 1 pint bottle of Chacon Bordoil Copper-Oil-Fungicide, but have never even opened the bottle. Under Active Ingredients it says: Copper Sulfate (anhydrous) 6.4% Petroleum Oil 30% Inert Ingredients 63.6% There are warnings about poisoning the water supply and appropriate precautions. This dwarf tree, which was severely ravaged by peach leaf curl this last spring/summer is right next to my compost pile, which I use exclusively to fertilize my vegetable crops - tomatoes and squash. The unused and unopened bottle is plastic, and for some reason it's become deformed. It looks as though the volume has shrunk as the walls of the bottle are pulled in on 3 sides (i.e. the cross section is rather triangular. I have no idea why. Should I be concerned about contamination of my home grown produce by virtue of using this (or another) means of stopping the peach leaf curl? Thanks for any explanations, caveats, assurances, warnings, etc. Dan |
