fungicide

The saga of juice tainted by a fungicide in Brazil reveals holes in the FDA screening process for imported foods.

Whilst Bordeaux Mixture is the best general fungicide, it discolors the plants until it washes off.

If, however, the fungicide is upon the plant before the fungus is, the parasite may not be able to obtain a foothold.

On ornamental plants, therefore, a colorless fungicide may be preferable.

This disease may be prevented in large measure by the use of a fungicide known as Bordeaux mixture.

The bearing of this question upon the relation of a fungicide to its efficiency is apparent.
