Bordeaux Mixture

Comac

Bordeaux mixture is made in varying concentrations. The most usual formula is 8-8-100 (often stated as 4-4-50), which means 8 pounds copper sulfate, 8 pounds hydrated lime to 100 gallons of water. Stock solutions are made up for each chemical (1 pound per gallon of water), the lime solution placed first in the sprayer, diluted to nearly the full amount, and the copper sulfate solution added. Or, for power sprayers, finely divided copper sulfate can be washed through the strainer into the spray tank, and when the tank is two-thirds full the weighed amount of hydrated lime can also be washed through the strainer while the agitator is running. Casein or other spreader is added toward the end. Phytotoxicity comes from both the lime and the copper. Plants are often stunted, with yield reduced; fruit-setting of tomatoes may be delayed. Bordeaux is not safe on peaches during the growing season, may burn and russet applies (both foliage and fruits), may cause red spotting, yellowing, and dropping of rose leaves (often confused with blackspot by amateur and sometimes professional gardeners), and may cause defoliation of Japanese plums. Injury is most prominent early in the season when temperature is below 50 °F and in dull, cloudy weather when light rain or high humidity prevents rapid drying of the spray. Late summer use of bordeaux is credited with making some plants more susceptible to early fall frosts. For ornamentals, a 4-4-100 mixture is usually strong enough and can be made in small amounts by dissolving 2 ounces of copper sulfate in 1 gallon of water, 2 ounces of hydrated lime in 2 gallons of water, pouring the copper sulfate solution into the lime water, and straining into the spray tank through fine cheesecloth. For some plants, such as stone fruits, the proportion of lime is increased; for others, such as azaleas, a low-lime bordeaux is used. Once the two solutions have been mixed, the preparation must be used immediately. Fresh lime is essential, not some left over from a previous season. Somewhat less effective than homemade bordeaux but easier for the home gardener are the various powders and pastes available under trade names; to these add only water at the time of use.

Copper Compounds

More stable than bordeaux mix, less phytotoxic, easier to use, and with less objectionable residue. Copper sprays control many blights, leaf spots, downy and powdery mildews. They are incompatible with lime sulfur, questionable with cryolite, benxene hexachloride, tetraethyl pyrophosphate, organic mercuries, and thiocarbamates. They may injure plants in cool, cloudy or moist weather. Injury to apple and rose foliage varies from reddish spots to yellowing and defoliation.

Hydrated Lime and Copper Sulfate

Bordeaux Mix

Prepared from copper sulfate and lime to form a membranous coating over plant parts, the first protective spray and still widely used. About 1878, French vineyard were threatened with downy mildew, which had been introduced from the U.S. Millardet, one of the workers assigned to the problem, noticed that where grapes near the highways to Bordeaux had been treated with a poisonous-looking mixture of copper and lime to prevent stealing, there was little or no downy mildew. A description of the preparation of bordeaux mixture was published in 1885, and it remains a most efficient fungicide. It does, however, have a most conspicuous residue and is injurious to some plants.

Lime Sulfur

Polysulfides formed by boiling together sulfur and mild of lime. The standard liquid has a specific gravity of 32 Baume and the commercial product is far superior to the homemade. Lime sulfur dates back to 1851, when the head gardener, Grison, at Versailles, France, boiled together sulfur and lime for a vegetable fungicide called “Eau Grison.” In 1886, this fungicide was used in California as a dormant spray for San Jose scale and later for peach leaf curl. A self-boiled lime sulfur made without heat was produced in 1908 as a summer spray for sensitive plants, but it was later replaced by wettable sulfurs for most fruit-spray programs. A dry form of lime sulfur was marketed about 1908. Used as a dormant spray for fruits, roses, and some other plants for mildews, Volutella blight of boxwood, and other diseases. Do not use above 85 °F.
