A highly effective, high-quality, and time-tested gardener's kit (Bordeaux mixture) for preventive plant protection and care. This professional two-component formulation combines pure copper sulfate and special lime, which, when properly mixed in water, creates an exceptionally durable and strong protective layer on stems, branches, and leaves. The product acts as an indispensable and reliable helper for garden cleanup in early spring or autumn, providing maximum protection at the cellular level of plants. The Bordeaux mixture guarantees immediate and long-lasting prophylaxis, completely preventing damage caused by environmental stress and destructive fungal diseases, and improving crop health and the overall condition of trees.
🌱 Suitable for:
  • Fruit trees (Apples, pears, plums, and cherries): Excellently suited for spraying gardens before bud break and after leaf fall to protect against scab, canker, and brown rot of fruit.
  • Berry crops and grapes: Great for treating strawberries, blueberries, and grapevines, effectively delaying the development of leaf spot and downy mildew.
  • Greenhouse vegetables and potatoes: Perfectly suited for treating tomato, cucumber, and potato fields to protect crops from dangerous late blight and stem rot.
  • Ornamental plants and decorative shrubs: Ideal for preventive spraying of perennial flowers and rose bushes, preventing leaf browning and dieback.
Main advantages:
  • Excellent and long-lasting adhesion to the plant surface: Thanks to the reaction of lime and copper sulfate, the resulting liquid adheres excellently to the bark and leaves and does not wash off even in prolonged rain.
  • Completely destroys fungal spores and bacteria: Copper ions immediately diffuse into fungal spores, completely stopping their germination and preventing diseases from spreading throughout the garden.
  • Universal helper against a wide range of diseases: One kit provides effective protection against late blight, moniliosis, cherry leaf spot, and stone fruit dry spot.
