Copper deficiency mostly appears on peaty/organic and heavily-leached sandy soils, causing 'reclamation disease' in cereals. Copper is persistent โ€” a single application can last several years; avoid over-use, it is toxic in excess.

Indicative planning figures based on published research averages. Local soil tests, varieties and weather change actual requirements โ€” confirm with your agronomist or extension officer.

Farmers and soil-test labs use the free Copper sulphate Calculator to turn a per-hectare copper sulphate recommendation into the exact quantity, bag count and cost for their own field in seconds.

About Copper sulphate Calculator

Copper deficiency causes wilting, white twisted tips and poor grain set ('reclamation disease') on organic and leached sandy soils. Copper sulphate pentahydrate carries 25% Cu and persists for years, so doses are small. This tool scales the 5โ€“10 kg/ha rate and tracks the copper delivered and cost.

Frequently asked questions

How much copper sulphate per acre?+

Soil test Low Cu: 10 kg/ha (4.0 kg/acre); Marginal: 5 kg/ha (2.0 kg/acre). Copper deficiency mostly appears on peaty/organic and heavily-leached sandy soils, causing 'reclamation disease' in cereals.

How much Cu does copper sulphate contain?+

Copper sulphate carries about 25% Cu, so each 100 kg supplies 25.0 kg of Cu. The calculator multiplies your applied quantity by this to show the true nutrient delivered.

When and how should I apply it?+

Copper deficiency mostly appears on peaty/organic and heavily-leached sandy soils, causing 'reclamation disease' in cereals. Copper is persistent โ€” a single application can last several years; avoid over-use, it is toxic in excess.

Is the tool free and private?+

Yes โ€” free, no sign-up, and all calculation runs in your browser, so it works offline in the field and your data never leaves the device.
