As a fungicide and herbicideEdit

Copper sulfate pentahydrate is used as a fungicide.[18] However, some fungi are capable of adapting to elevated levels of copper ions.[19]

Bordeaux mixture, a suspension of copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) and calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2), is used to control fungus on grapes, melons, and other berries.[20] It is produced by mixing a water solution of copper sulfate and a suspension of slaked lime, a suspension of copper(II) hydroxideCu(OH)2 and calcium sulfate, which is used to control fungus on grapes, melons, and other berries.

Cheshunt compound, a commercial mixture of copper sulfate and ammonium carbonate(discontinued), is used in horticulture to prevent damping off in seedlings.[21] As a non-agricultural herbicide, is it used to control invasive aquatic plants and the roots of plants situated near water pipes. It is used in swimming pools as an algicide. A dilute solution of copper sulfate is used to treat aquarium fishes for parasitic infections,[22]and is also used to remove snails from aquariums. Copper ions are highly toxic to fish, however. Most species of algae can be controlled with very low concentrations of copper sulfate.
