4lbs per acre.But, make sure you get it where you want it, and not where you do not. it will work very well. be careful with it.
I’ve applied 8 lbs acre copper sulfate through a pivot at tassel and all it did was give me the best plant health I’ve had in a while. No problems growing crops or weeds the next year.
Come to think of it, I haven’t had white mold on that side of the field. Maybe I need to repeat on the other side this year.
Last year, in a different field, I left the spinner off for a couple rounds. Those strips have about 50 lbs of copper sulfate, and twice that of 14% boron. It’s going to beans this year. I think they’ll grow.
Oh, and my phos levels are not on the high side of things.
