Who developed Bordeaux mixture?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Millardet developed Bordeaux mixture.
In 1882, Millardet in France (Bordeaux University) accidentally observed the efficacy of the copper sulphate against the downy mildew of grapes caused by Plasmopara viticola.
It is used in vineyards, fruit farms and gardens to prevent infestations of downy mildew, powdery mildew and other fungi. It is sprayed on plants as a preventive treatment; its mode of action is ineffective after a fungus has become established.
