1. Bordeaux mixture

   Bordeaux mixture (also called Bordo Mix) is a mixture of copper(II) sulphate (CuSO4) and quicklime (CaO) used as a fungicide. It is used in vineyards, fruit-farms and gardens to prevent infestations of downy mildew, powdery mildew and other fungi. It is sprayed on plants as a preventive treatment; its mode of action is ineffective after a fungus has become established. It was invented in the Bordeaux region of France in the late 19th century. If it is applied in large quantities annually for many years, the copper in the mixture eventually becomes a pollutant. As such its sale and use is illegal in Great Britain and most of the European Union. Despite this, it has been promoted as an 'organic' pesticide.

1. bordeaux mixture

   Bordeaux mixture is a fungicide and bactericide that was developed in the Bordeaux region of France in the late 19th century for controlling grape diseases. The mixture traditionally consists of copper sulfate, lime (calcium hydroxide), and water, typically in a 1:1:100 ratio. It has a long history of use in organic agriculture since the only active substances are minerals that are safe for humans and the environment. Bordeaux mixture is primarily used to control fungal pests in fruit crops (like grapes, strawberries and peaches) but is also used on vegetables, ornamentals, and other crops.
