No harm in COC, Bordeaux sprays

Rubber Board has said that spraying of Bordeaux mixture and copper oxychloride (COC) in rubber plantations to manage monsoon diseases is of no harm. The clarification comes in the wake of widespread apprehensions on the spraying of Bordeaux mixture and sulphur dust, which are eco-friendly and are included in the organic recommendations.

Bordeaux mixture and sulphur dust are common fungicides used in rubber plantations to manage plant diseases.
