Always mix with a wetting agent for full plant coverage.

Sulfur is a natural element that is toxic to fungus. It is available in several formulations including a liquid spray, wettable powder/ dust and pellets. It is used for the control and prevention of black spot, rusts, leaf spots and powdery mildew on roses, other ornamentals, fruits and vegetables. It is also used less frequently as a miticide on some of the above. Sulfur disrupts the metabolic functioning of fungi and is one of the oldest known pesticides. For organic gardeners, sulfur is an important fungal disease control product. Sulfur may be used on food crops up to one day of harvest.
Cautions/Instructions: Since sulfur is abrasive to some metals, apply sprays with a plastic sprayer. Foliar injury may occur from applications made above 85 degrees F.
Toxicity: Low toxicity to humans, however, sulfur can irritate skin and eyes and spray vapors should not be inhaled. Non- toxic to birds, bees and fish.
