Colloidal sulfur: description, application

Colloidal sulfur (another common name is fungicide) is used universally to protect all garden and garden crops from most pests and diseases, including powdery mildew, ascochitis, keel, plant mites, oidium, anthracnose, scab.

The fight against any of the listed diseases begins already at the first signs of its manifestation. Processing is carried out with absolute absence of precipitation and wind. It is very important to wet the leaves on both sides, evenly. Sulfur colloid phytotoxic effects usually do not cause (if you follow the instructions and observe the dosage), but sometimes undesirable damage (for example, in certain gooseberry varieties), up to the fall of the flowers and part of the leaves, is possible. Therefore, when flowering plants are best not to process.

Colloidal sulfur should not be mixed with other drugs, although the instruction allows the combination with certain fungicides. However, chemical reagents are inclined to give reactions, so that not to remain without a crop, it is better to abandon the experiments. The standard packaging is 40 g.

Colloidal sulfur, application

1. To treat cabbage against a keel or sugar beet against dew, a powdery sachet of the drug is diluted in ten liters of water. The liter of the solution is designed for 10 m². Processing is three-fold.

2. For processing cucumbers from powdery mildew:

• In the open ground, a working solution is prepared from 20 liters of water and 40 g of the preparation (the liter of the solution is designed for 10 m², the treatment is four-fold);
• For a protected working solution, the working solution is prepared from 10 liters and 40 g of the preparation (two liters of solution are designed for 10 m², treatment is five-fold).

3. To process melons and watermelons from ascohitosis, anthracnose, dewy powder in 10 liters of water, one packet (40 g) is diluted. 10 m² is treated with a liter of solution. Sprayed three times.

5. For processing apples, quinces, pears against scab and mildew the package of the preparation is diluted in 5 liters of water. On a young tree, about two liters of solution are consumed. For an adult, the volume of the solution is increased depending on the size of the tree. Processing fivefold.

6. Processing of grapes against oidium is carried out with a solution of 5 liters and a sachet of the preparation. At 10 m², about 1.5 liters of solution are consumed. On average, six treatments are required.

7. Medicinal crops against powdery mildew are treated with a solution prepared from 4 liters of water and a bag of colloidal sulfur. The consumption rate is 10 square meters per liter. Double treatment.

8. Colors, flowering crops against anthracnose, ascochitis, powdery mildew require treatment with a solution of 5 liters of water and a sachet of the drug. Approximate consumption per 10 m² - liter of solution. Fivefold spraying.

9. The remaining cultures against plant mites are treated with a solution of colloidal sulfur, prepared from 5 liters of water and a sachet of the preparation. Fivefold spraying.

Intervals between treatments are 10-15 days. The last spraying can be carried out 3 days before harvesting. The solution is prepared by gradually adding water to the drug and is consumed on the same day. In the diluted form, colloidal sulfur is not stored. The action begins after 3 hours.
