Katyayani K-Bordeaux - Bordeaux Mixture Fungicide

Katyayani K-Bordeaux Mixture is a contact fungicide and bactericide containing Copper Sulphate 3.0% + Calcium Hydroxide 0.6%. Katyayani K-Bordeaux mixture fungicide forms a thin protective layer on the leaf surface that releases copper ions slowly — preventing fungal spores from germinating and infecting the plant. K-Bordeaux Mixture is effective even during the monsoon season and periods of heavy rainfall when fungal diseases spread the fastest, with a rainfast formulation. Copper Sulphate 3.0% + Calcium Hydroxide 0.6% also supplies copper and calcium as micronutrients, supporting better photosynthesis, stronger cell walls, and improved soil pH balance. Katyayani K-Bordeaux mixture fungicide is suitable for Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers, and Field Crops across India.

How To Use K-Bordeaux Mixture Fungicide— Application Instructions:

1. Measure 950 g of K-Bordeaux Mixture fungicide carefully as per the dosage table.

2. Pre-mix the powder in a small amount of water to form a smooth paste before adding to the sprayer tank.

3. Pour the paste into the sprayer tank filled to about one-third capacity with clean water.

4. Fill with the remaining water while stirring continuously until the suspension is completely uniform and blue throughout.

5. Apply Copper Sulphate 3.0% + Calcium Hydroxide 0.6% evenly across all plant surfaces, covering upper and lower leaf surfaces thoroughly.

6. Apply Copper Sulphate 3.0% + Calcium Hydroxide 0.6% during cool hours — avoid spraying during peak midday heat to prevent phytotoxicity on sensitive crops.

7. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after every use to prevent copper residue from building up inside the tank.

Best Time to Apply:

Apply Copper Sulphate 3.0% + Calcium Hydroxide 0.6% in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool. Apply preventively before disease appears — especially during the monsoon season and periods of high humidity when fungal infections spread fastest.

Frequency of Application & Re-Entry Period:

• Frequency of Application: Apply Copper Sulphate 3.0% + Calcium Hydroxide 0.6% at the first sign of disease or preventively during the monsoon season. Repeat after 10 to 14 days if disease pressure continues. Do not apply more than 3 to 4 times per season.

• Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.

• Tank-mix Compatibility: Katyayani K-Bordeaux fungicide is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. Do not mix with lime sulphur, alkaline products, or any product that causes precipitation. Always do a jar test before combining with other products.
