Ridomil Gold Copper is a wettable powder fungicide used to control various diseases in listed fruits and vegetables. It contains two active ingredients: Metalaxyl (0.5%) and Copper Hydroxide (80.0%). This product is effective against Oomycete fungi, including downy mildew and various root/stem rots. It can be applied via foliar spray, soil drench, or through irrigation systems. When using irrigation systems, ensure the system is flushed with water within one hour of application to prevent product buildup. Users must follow specific drift management protocols, especially when applying aerially, to protect non-target areas. This product is a Group 1 fungicide (for metalaxyl) and a Group M01 fungicide (for copper hydroxide). Always check for specific crop restrictions and pre-harvest intervals (PHI) as they vary by plant type.
