General presentation of the Porridge Bordelaise Solabiol

The Bordeaux Solabiol Uncoloured Mixture, presented here in a 1.1 kg format, is one of the fungicidal solutions known for their effectiveness for many years. It is mainly composed of copper sulphate, known for its pale blue/green colour which limits the colouring of plants during application. Designed for preventive and curative use, this porridge can be used on various crops, including vines, potatoes, tomatoes and peach. Its approval for organic farming makes it a wise choice for gardeners looking to adopt more environmentally friendly methods.

Preventive and curative action

By applying this product before the onset of diseases, a protective barrier is created that prevents the establishment or development of fungi responsible for downy mildew, peach leaf curl or apple scab. Its action persists for several days, which provides continuous protection. If symptoms are already present, it can also limit the progression of the disease. This versatility in action avoids the use of multiple products and helps to preserve the overall health of the garden.

Ease of preparation and use

To prepare the Bouillie Bordelaise Solabiol, it is advisable to fill the sprayer tank halfway with water. The required dose of product is then weighed using the supplied measuring cup, equivalent to 12.5 g when filled flush. This precise dosing makes it easier to calculate according to the surface to be treated. Once the product has been poured, it is necessary to shake, complete the water filling, and then pressurize the sprayer before treating. Reapply regularly as plants grow or after heavy rainfall.

Precautions for use

As with any crop protection product, certain instructions must be followed. It is recommended to wear gloves and covering clothing during handling, and not to drink, eat or smoke during treatment. Do not spray in windy or hot weather, or on substrates that are too light to avoid unsightly marks. After use, rinse the sprayer thoroughly, preferably on the area already treated, and make sure to dispose of used packaging at a waste disposal centre or via an approved organisation. Finally, be sure to store the product in its original container, in a cool, ventilated place.

Recommended Rates for Your Crops

Doses vary depending on the plant. For example, for tomatoes and aubergines, half a scoop (6.25 g) is enough for 1 L of water to treat 10 m², while for potatoes or vines, two scoops (25 g) are recommended for the same amount. Cabbages, lettuce and apple trees benefit from a single measuring unit (12.5 g) per 1 L of water, covering 10 m². Respecting these recommendations makes it possible to maintain an appropriate dosage, effectively protecting the foliage without saturating the soil with copper.
