Mixing Wettable Sulfur for Fungal Prevention

Follow Package Directions for Sulfur Concentration

A grower asked how much water to mix with wettable sulfur powder.

Read the Label; Sulfur Is a Preventative, Not a Cure

Concentrations vary by product, so follow the package. Sulfur creates an inhospitable environment for fungus but isn’t strongly curative once hyphae penetrate tissue. It’s best used preventatively on seeds, cuttings, etc.

Good Growing!
