Overview

Copper sulphate and hydrated lime fungicide for downy mildew, blight and leaf spot.

Product description

Bordeaux mixture is a copper fungicide made from copper sulphate, hydrated lime and water. The lime neutralises the copper sulphate and leaves a blue copper deposit that sticks to leaves.

It is sprayed as a protective treatment against fungal and bacterial diseases such as downy mildew on grapes, late blight on potatoes and tomatoes, leaf spots and canker on fruit trees. It has to be on the plant before infection, because it protects rather than cures.

Use at label strength. Too strong a mix can scorch young leaves.

Delivered from our Barka warehouse to Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, Duqm and other sites in Oman. Ask for a quote with your quantity and pack size.

Applications

Bordeaux mixture is a protective fungicide and bactericide for fruit, vegetable and field crops. It is sprayed on the leaves before infection starts and keeps fungal spores from germinating.

  • Downy mildew on grapes
  • Late blight on potatoes and tomatoes
  • Leaf spots, blights and canker on fruit trees
  • Apple scab

It protects rather than cures, so apply it ahead of the disease. Copper sulphate is toxic if swallowed and irritates the eyes and skin; wear gloves and eye protection when mixing.

Where it is used

Vineyards, potato and tomato fields, orchards and plantations in agriculture and horticulture.

Dosage

Common spray strengths are 0.5 to 1 percent, made by mixing copper sulphate and hydrated lime in water. Follow the label for your crop and growth stage, because a mix that is too strong can scorch young leaves.

Also known as
