Post-Hedging Disease Prevention for Blueberries with Magna-Bon CS 2005
Post-hedging disease prevention for blueberries is a critical step in protecting plant health and yield potential after harvest. While hedging helps manage canopy size, stimulate new growth, and prepare bushes for next season, it also leaves plants temporarily vulnerable. Fresh pruning cuts combined with warm summer temperatures and high humidity create ideal conditions for disease pressure to develop rapidly.
That’s where Magna-Bon CS 2005 plays a key role—helping blueberry growers protect pruning wounds, reduce summer disease risk, and support healthy regrowth during this high-risk post-hedging window.
Why Disease Risk Spikes After Hedging
After hedging, plants face the perfect “storm” for infection:
✂️ Fresh pruning cuts can act as entry points for pathogens
💧 High humidity + frequent moisture increases disease pressure
☀️ Warm summer temps speed up infection and spread
🌿 Tender new growth is more susceptible as it flushes out
✅ Protecting bushes before disease establishes is far more effective than chasing symptoms later.
How Magna-Bon CS 2005 Helps After Hedging
Magna-Bon CS 2005 is an OMRI-listed copper sulfate pentahydrate, in-solution formulation designed to deliver strong disease protection with efficient copper use.
Key Advantages
🛡️ Protects pruning wounds with uniform coverage
🌱 Systemic movement helps protect tissue beyond surface contact
🧬 Works against copper-resistant strains
♻️ Low metallic copper use rate (helps reduce plant stress & environmental load)
✅ OMRI-listed (fits organic production programs)
Unlike many conventional copper products that stay mostly on the surface, CS 2005 is formulated to deliver more complete protection where it counts—especially after pruning.
Best Timing for Application
For strongest post-hedging protection: Blueberry Application Rates: 25.6-51.2 oz. per 100 gallons of water (100 PPM – 200 PPM)
📌 Apply immediately after hedging (or as soon as possible once pruning is complete)
🔁 Continue according to your summer disease program based on weather and disease pressure
The goal: prevent infection during the high-risk summer window—before symptoms ever show up.
