How to Prepare Bordeaux Mixture for Fungal Control

Introduction to Bordeaux Mixture

• The video introduces the preparation of a product called Bordeaux mixture, which is used for controlling fungal infections, particularly in citrus plants.

• The mixture consists of lime and copper sulfate, highlighting its effectiveness as a fungicide.

Preparation Steps

• The preparation involves diluting the ingredients separately: first dissolving copper sulfate in water until fully dissolved.
