The "Bordeaux Effect"

When Copper Sulphate is mixed with slaked lime, it forms the legendary Bordeaux Mixture. This combination creates a long-lasting fungicide that sticks to plant leaves even during rain. It effectively controls diseases like Downy Mildew, Powdery Mildew, and other fungal infections in vineyards, fruit orchards, and potato fields. Additionally, as an algaecide, it clears algae from swimming pools and water reservoirs.
