Dosage
- A typical dosage is a very dilute solution, such as 40 grams of copper sulfate in 8 liters of water, or 3 grams per liter of water.
- Method: The solution is prepared by dissolving the copper sulfate crystals in water and then spraying it evenly on the leaves and stems of the plant.
- Note: Foliar sprays are a temporary fix. They treat the visible symptoms but do not address the underlying soil deficiency.
