I respect your shit uncle Ben so dont get me wrong but when a company says not to use it on fruiting plants that gets me wondering. Maybe there is a chemical reason not to use it on fruiting plants.. but the main difference I see applicable to this is that humans eat fruits, we rarely eat flowers.
From the sheet:
Active Ingredient
Copper Hydroxide (CAS# 20427-59-2) ..............................7.1%
Other Ingredients...........................................................92.9%
TOTAL...........................................................................100.0%
Metallic Copper Equivalent 4.6%.
So, 92.9% of what you put into your plants are other ingredients. Sure, most of that isnt biologically active but are they sure? Have they tested every cell in the human body? Especially after through the absorption process in the plant. The label also warns not to use near water because it is toxic to most aquatic microrganisms. Last time I checked.. humans are in the 90% water range. And yes I do mean "in plants". Sure, there are plenty of processes that break compounds down into parts the plant can use. But are you telling me that if I pour a cup of diesel fuel on a plant some of that diesel fuel does not end up inside the plant? When shit is made in a lab like that there are always unintended impacts. Maybe thats why it hints that it should not be used for human consumption ie: "fruit bearing trees".
Again, no disrespect meant Ben I just like to question new chemicals coming out.
