Since fungi cannot make food of their own, they steal nutrients from plants. During this process they attack and kill plant cells, which leads to the decline and eventually the death of the plant, if the fungi is left uncontrolled. Fungi thrive in moist environments -- some in cold and moist environments and some in warm and moist environments. If agricultural fungicide are noted on your plants, use copper sulfate to kill them. The proper mixture is crucial as too much is also toxic to plants.

1.Prepare your copper sulfate solution. Add 3 tbsp. of copper sulfate to 1 gallon of water. Stir the mixture until completely dissolved.

2.Add 3 tbsp. of hydrated lime into the mixture and once again stir until completely dissolved.

3.Pour the mixture into a pump-up sprayer. Spray the areas of the plant infected with the fungi until fully coated. Refrain from spraying to healthy parts of the plant.

4.Repeat the process in two weeks if the plant is still infected with fungicide.
