It states from .5 to 2.0 fluid ounces per gallon of water. It does say to use 2.0 ounces for Late Blight on tomatoes, but i do not have late blight.

Does anyone have a good ratio they use for tomatoes as well as cucurbits and beans? I am thinking 1 ounce to 1 gallon and I can spray everything in my garden?
Houston I have never used the Bonide Copper Concentrate but rather the Southern Ag brand of Copper. From my experience using the lower dose will give you the best results for just regular spraying as a spray with too much copper can cause some new leaf stunting for a while though the plants usually recover in time.
