Copper ions act as a fungicide in bordeaux mixture.
Specifically, bordo mix contains copper sulfate and slaked lime. Slaked lime contributes to the mix's longevity and viability by neutralizing the solution. The copper keeps fungal spores from germinating. It also may harm earthworms, fish and livestock if it is allowed to accumulate in soil and runoff.

How do you formulate Cheshunt compound a fungicide.?
According to the Royal Horticultural Society, it is a mixture of ammonium carbonate and copper sulphate. I think the relative proportions are probably a trade secret, but since most fungicide control compounds include copper sulphate and one other ingredient, you can likely assume that the copper sulphate is the most important part. Thus a weak mixture of copper sulphate would likely work OK as a replacement. Bordeaux mixture uses copper sulphate and hydrated lime. Hydrated lime (calcium carbonate) is a kinder and more easily sourced ingredient than ammonium sulphate so I would try that before Cheshunt compound. Copper sulphate can be sourced from equestrian supply shops because it is used as a foot bath for horses (again for its antifungal properties). Be careful using it - it is poisonous to fish so NEVER put it down the drain or on land near a river.... so only mix up what you need and keep it away from children.

Fungicide is a chemical compound or organism that kills fungus. Contact fungicide is a spray, and it only protects the plant from fungus in the areas where the spray comes in direct contact. Systemic fungicide is taken up into the plant, so it is redistributed through the xylem vessels and protects the entire plant from fungus.
