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 make bordeaux mixture?
To make bordeaux mixture, mix together copper sulfate and hydrated lime in water. The typical ratio is 4 parts copper sulfate to 4 parts hydrated lime to 100 parts water. Ensure everything is fully dissolved before using it as a fungicide in the garden.
What is the pH range of good Bordeaux mixture?
The pH range of a good Bordeaux mixture is typically around 6.0 to 8.0. This range is ideal for maintaining the efficacy of the mixture while minimizing the risk of phytotoxicity on plants.
What is the reaction between Bordeaux mixtuer and iron?
When Bordeaux mixture is mixed with iron, a redox reaction takes place where iron reduces copper(II) ions in the Bordeaux mixture to copper(I) ions. This reaction ultimately leads to the formation of a dark reddish-brown precipitate known as copper(II) oxide.
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.

What is in bordeaux mixture?
Copper sulfate, slaked lime and water are what is in bordeaux mixture.Specifically, the copper sulfate and the slaked lime each are dissolved in separate containers of water. The contents then will be combined in one container. The weight of the copper sulfate to the volume of water will determine the mixture's concentration.
What is the chemical formula for Bordeaux salt?
