CAUTION: Airborne Dust is potentially flammable. Elemental Sulfur, also known as Brimstone in its natural state, has been used by humans for thousands of years. It is a non-metallic element, "S" on the periodic chart, with an Atomic number of 16. Sulfur is a non-systemic contact and protective 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 leaf spot, mildew on roses, mites on beans, carrots, melons, and tomatoes, etc. The active ingredient sulfur is found in a variety of commercial fungicides. Sulfur is known to be of low toxicity, and poses very little if any risk to human and animal health. Short-term studies show that sulfur is of very low acute oral toxicity and does not irritate the skin (it has been placed in EPA Toxicity Category IV, the least toxic category, for these effects). Sulfur also is not a skin sensitizer. However, it can cause some eye irritation, dermal toxicity and inhalation hazards. When taken orally, it has a mild laxative action Sulfur is used at 4 lbs/acre Sulfur has been predicted by a new risk model to cause significant “bird kill” at the rates at which it is commonly used – particularly on grapes (table, wine, raisin) Sulfur is the most widely used fungicide/miticide in Organic agriculture Using sulfur as a pesticide: 1. Fill a flour sifter with powdered sulfur. Hold the sifter 1 to 2 feet above the plants, and sift the sulfur over them to give them a light dusting. The coat of sulfur should be heavy enough that it is easily visible but still light enough that you can see the color of the leaves beneath it. 2. Spray a lime-sulfur or wettable sulfur spray on any part of the plant that isn't covered with dust. A light mist on the bare spots is enough to get the job done. Combination lime-sulfur spray is much more effective than wettable sulfur, so use the combination if it is available in your area. 3. Examine your plants daily. If you notice that the insects have come back, reapply the sulfur.
