Standard procedures for the preparation and application of homemade copper products

1. Monitor plants regularly and spray only when necessary.

2. Read and follow the label instructions carefully, particularly, dosage, pre-harvest intervals and safety measures. Ask for
assistance from your local extension agriculture office, if unsure.
3. Spray in the early morning or late afternoon.
4. Wear protective clothing when handling pesticides and during application. Wash your hands after handling of pesticides
and application. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling and during application of synthetic pesticides including copper.
5. Do not have a direct contact with the crude extract while in the process of the preparation and during the application.
6. Make sure that you place the product out of reach of children and house pets while leaving it overnight.
7. Harvest all the mature and ripe fruits before product application.
8. Always test the product formulation on a few infected plants first before going into large scale spraying. When adding
soap as an emulsifier, use a potash-based one. Gun soap (Kenya) is recommended
