Sulphur 80% WDG

Sulphur 80% WDG

Sulphur 80% WDG is a broad-spectrum contact fungicide trusted by farmers for its triple-action performance — controlling fungal diseases, managing mites, and supplying essential sulphur nutrition all in one product. As a water dispersible granule formulation, it offers a modern, dust-free alternative to traditional sulphur powders, making it easier and safer to measure and handle in the field.

How Sulphur 80% WDG Works

This fungicide works through a multi-site mode of action, disrupting fungal cells and halting their growth at both the mycelial and sporulation stages. Because it has multiple points of attack on fungal pathogens, it is particularly difficult for fungi to develop resistance against it, making it a valuable, long-term tool in any disease management program. Beyond its fungicidal action, sulphur also has secondary acaricidal activity, helping control various mite species including spider mites that often trouble crops like grapes and tea.

Why Farmers Choose This Fungicide

One of the standout advantages of Sulphur 80% WDG is its instant dispersion and high suspensability in water, meaning the dust-free granules dissolve within seconds to form a smooth, uniform spray solution that doesn’t clog spray nozzles. This advanced formulation also significantly reduces the risk of leaf scorching compared to older sulphur powders, making it gentler on tender leaves, berries, and fruits even during warmer weather, provided application guidelines are followed.

Beyond disease and mite control, this product also functions as a valuable source of sulphur, often referred to as the fourth major plant nutrient after nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Sulphur plays an important role in chlorophyll formation and protein synthesis within the plant, meaning this fungicide contributes to overall plant health and vigour alongside its protective action. Farmers growing grapes, apples, mango, cumin, peas, cowpea, and various vegetables particularly value this triple-benefit approach, since a single spray addresses fungal disease, mite pressure, and nutrient supply together.

Key Benefits

• Controls powdery mildew, scab, rust, and leaf spots
• Effective miticide against spider mites and other mite species
• Supplies essential sulphur nutrition to support plant health
• Multi-site action reduces the risk of fungal resistance
• Dust-free granules dissolve instantly without clogging nozzles
• Reduced risk of leaf scorching compared to older sulphur powders
• No staining on fruits or foliage after spraying

Why Crop Nutrition Matters Alongside Disease Control

Crops protected from fungal disease and mites grow best when also given strong overall nutritional support. Products like Humic Acid 98% Flakes help build a stronger root system to support healthy recovery, while Power PGR Liquid helps the plant channel its renewed health into better flowering and fruit setting through the rest of the season.

Safety Tips & Precautions

• Never mix sulphur with oil-based pesticides such as neem oil or EC formulations — leave a gap of 14 to 30 days between the two to avoid crop burning
• Avoid spraying during the hottest part of the day or when temperatures exceed 30°C to prevent phytotoxicity
• Use a hollow cone nozzle and ensure full coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces for effective mite control
• Wear gloves, mask, and goggles while mixing and spraying
• Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes; wash hands thoroughly after use
• Avoid use on sulphur-sensitive crops like certain cucurbits and specific apple or pear varieties
• Maintain the recommended pre-harvest interval before harvesting for market
• Keep away from children, animals, and food or feed storage areas

Storage Instructions

Store Sulphur 80% WDG in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly sealed and out of reach of children and animals.
