INTRODUCTION: Sulfur
is a non-systemic contact and protectant
fungicide with secondary acaricidal activity.
It is used for control of brown rot of
peaches, powdery mildew of apples, gooseberries,
hops, ornamentals, grapes, peaches, strawberries,
sugar beets, apple scab, gall mite on
blackcurrant, peanut leafspot, mildew
on roses, mites on beans, carrots, lucerne,
melons, and tomatoes, etc.. Sulfur is
also used on livestock and in agricultural
premises.
Sulfur in its elemental reduced or oxidized
forms represents approximately 1.9% of
the total weight of the earth. The sulfates
and sulfides are common in their various
mineral forms. Most aquatic and terrestrial
environments are high in sulfur, sulfur-deficient
environments being quite rare in nature.
Sulfur is considered non-corrosive and
may cause tarnishing of some metals

FORMULATION: Sulfur
comes in wettable, flowable and colloidal
formulations. Compatibility with other
products is considered good. Numerous
mixed products with insecticides and fungicides
are manufactured. For reasons of phytotoxicity,
mixing sulfur with oils should be avoided.
It is also used in liquid form,.
Target Crop : Cereal,
Pulse, Oil seeds, Vegetables, Fruits,
Flowers etc. for Tea Plantations.
Classification of mode of action
: CONTACT FUNGICIDE CUM ACARICIDE
for the control of - Powdery Mildew, Tikka,
Rust, Smut, Mite (pink & purple) and
hoard of mite and fungal problems on tea
plantations.
Product Potential :
Micronised wettable formulation having
wide range of activities viz., Fungicide,
Acaricide plant, nutrients, surfactants
etc., and used for agriculture and plantation
crops as foliar spray & seed treatment,
seedling, root dip, furrow drenching etc..
ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS
-
Effects
on Birds: Sulfur is considered
non-toxic to birds The 8-day dietary
LC50 for bobwhite quail is reported
to be greater than 5,620 ppm in a study
using a 95% sulfur wettable powder formulation.
In studies on ecological effects involving
bobwhite quail, sulfur has been shown
to be practically non-toxic to the species
tested
-
Effects
on Aquatic Organisms: The 96-hour
LC50 values for two fish species, bluegill
sunfish and rainbow trout, are greater
than 180 ppm in a study using a 99.5%
sulfur dust formulation. The 48-hour
LC50 for daphnia and the 96-hour LC50
for mysid shrimp is reported to be greater
than 5,000 and 736 ppm, respectively,
in a study using 90% sulfur In studies
on ecological effects involving two
fish species, daphnia, and mysid shrimp,
sulfur has been shown to be practically
non-toxic to the species tested.
-
Effects
on Other Animals (Nontarget species):
Sulfur is considered non-toxic to bees.
In studies on ecological effects involving
honeybees, sulfur has been shown to
be practically non-toxic to the species
tested. Thus, although there is potential
for non-target organisms to be exposed
to sulfur, little hazard to these species
is expected to result. Two beneficial
insect studies demonstrated that sulfur
(98% dust and 92% wettable powder) is
low in toxicity to the honeybee through
contact and ingestion.
-
Breakdown
of Chemical in Soil and Groundwater:
Sulfur is a component of the environment,
and there is a natural cycle of oxidation
and reduction reactions which transforms
sulfur into both organic and inorganic
products Elemental sulfur is slowly
converted to sulfate in soil by the
action of autotrophic bacteria. Elemental
sulfur leaches in soil as sulfate at
a slow rate. About 3-6% of the sulfur
(formulation and purity unspecified)
applied at 56 kg/Ha leached through
lysimeters of loam soil (soil depth
unspecified) as a result of 40 inches
of rain over a six-month period. After
two years, 23-29% of the applied sulfur
had leached
-
Breakdown
of Chemical in Surface Water: No
information currently available.
-
Breakdown
of Chemical in Vegetation:
There is slight oxidation of sulfur
to the volatile oxide. Primarily microbial
reduction in and on plants; partial
incorporation into physiological substances.
Sulfur may cause plant injury when used
at summer temperatures. Injury has been
reported on apricots, raspberries, cucurbits
and certain other "sulfur-shy"
plants
