Application
Application
Bordeaux Mixture is a combination of hydrated lime and copper sulfate.
Bordeaux Mixture is also a mixture of CuSO4 and hydrated lime(Ca(OH)2). Copper sulfate is a fungicide used to control bacterial and fungal diseases of fruit, vegetable, nut and field crops. Some of the diseases that are controlled by this fungicide include mildew, leaf spots, blights and apple scab. It is used in combination with lime and water as a protective fungicide, referred to as Bordeaux mixture, for leaf application and seed treatment. It is also used as an algaecide, an herbicide in irrigation and municipal water treatment systems, and as a molluscicide, a material used to repel and kill slugs and snails. It is also used as a raticide.IT'S TOXICITY; CuSO4 is acutely toxic and usually doesn't affect a conscious person as after ingestion due to its irritant activity vomiting takes place. It may cause conjunctivitis and anaemia when exposed to the eyes and skin.
IT'S WORKING; Copper-based fungicides work by coating the plant leaf surface with minuscule particles of the active ingredient. These particles react with moisture on the leaf surface and release copper ions that kill bacteria and prevent fungal spores from germinating
