Bordeaux Mixture
Bordeaux Mixture
Bordeaux Mixture is a time-tested, copper-based fungicide prepared from Copper Sulphate and Hydrated Lime. It is widely used in agriculture to prevent and control a variety of fungal and bacterial diseases in crops. Known for its broad-spectrum and long-lasting protective action, Bordeaux Mixture is particularly effective in orchard crops like grapes, citrus, mango, and other fruits, as well as vegetables and plantation crops. Its ability to form a protective coating on plant surfaces makes it one of the most reliable and eco-friendly fungicides in agriculture.
