Lime Sulfur
Hydrated Lime and Copper Sulfate
Polysulfides formed by boiling together sulfur
and mild of lime. The standard liquid has
a specific gravity of 32 Baume and the commer-
cial product is far superior to the homemade.
Lime sulfur dates back to 1851, when the head
gardener, Grison, at Versailles, France, boiled
together sulfur and lime for a vegetable fungicide
called “Eau Grison.” In 1886, this fungicide was
used in California as a dormant spray for San Jose
scale and later for peach leaf curl. A self-boiled
lime sulfur made without heat was produced in
1908 as a summer spray for sensitive plants, but it
was later replaced by wettable sulfurs for most
fruit-spray programs. A dry form of lime sulfur
was marketed about 1908. Used as a dormant
spray for fruits, roses, and some other plants for
mildews,
Volutella
blight of boxwood, and other
diseases. Do not use above 85
F.
Bordeaux Mix
Prepared from copper sulfate and lime to form
a membranous coating over plant parts, the first
protective spray and still widely used. About
1878, French vineyard were threatened with
downy mildew, which had been introduced from
the U.S. Millardet, one of the workers assigned to
the problem, noticed that where grapes near the
highways to Bordeaux had been treated with
a poisonous-looking mixture of copper and lime
to prevent stealing, there was little or no downy
mildew. A description of the preparation of bor-
deaux mixture was published in 1885, and it
remains a most efficient fungicide. It does, how-
ever, have a most conspicuous residue and is
injurious to some plants.
