may be less harmful than copper sulfate or Roundup. The data sheet I posted was not meant to imply that copper sulfate is more dangerous than anything else. I could have posted a data sheet for salt, Neem or even water and it could be scary. Any of those could be dangerous in the wrong concentrations or with poor handling. Copper sufate is often overused and misused, even on organic farms, and there are alternatives. While researching I found a fascinating article on how some organics may not necessarily be harmless to the environment and to us and how some non- organics may actually be better. It suggests weighing the risks of each product to the environment and ourselves rather than whether it is derived from a "natural" source. I am posting the article here, although it might go under organic watchdogs. It might be a good idea to think about what it is saying with an open mind and to follow the logic. We sometimes think everything organic must be good and everything not organic must be bad, without checking the data on the consequences of each individually. geneticliteracyproject.org/2020/07/23/organic-fungicide-copper-sulfate-poses-dangers-to-humans-animals-insects-how-does-it-compare-to-conventional-pesticides/
