About Sulphur 40 Sc Fungicide
Key Details
- Active Ingredient: It contains 40% sulphur in a colloidal, liquid form.
- Formulation: It is a suspension concentrate with very fine particles, typically less than 3 microns in size, which ensures better coverage and prolonged effectiveness on plant surfaces.
- Mode of Action: It acts as a contact fungicide, disrupting fungal cell structures and inhibiting the germination of spores. For powdery mildew, it breaks down the oil globules surrounding the spores, effectively killing them.
- Dual Purpose: In addition to its fungicidal and miticidal properties, it serves as a nutrient, supplying sulphur to crops, which aids in chlorophyll formation and overall plant health.
- Compatibility: It is often compatible with other agrochemicals, though a compatibility test is recommended before mixing.
