HPM Hivet Fungicide (Sulphur 80% WDG): The Ultimate 3-in-1 Crop Protector
Discover the power of Hivet, a premium Sulphur 80% WDG fungicide designed to protect your crops from Powdery Mildew, Scab, and Mites while boosting soil health.
Hivet by HPM Chemicals is a modern advancement in crop protection. Unlike old sulphur dusts that are messy and dangerous, Hivet uses micronized WDG technology. These dust-free granules dissolve instantly in water, creating a powerful solution that covers every inch of your plant.
Best For: Farmers looking for an economical solution that acts as a Fungicide, Miticide (Acaricide), and a Sulphur Fertilizer all in one spray.
Why Choose Hivet? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Instant Dispersion (No Clogging): The high-quality granules dissolve immediately in water (Suspensibility > 80%). This ensures a smooth spray without clogging your nozzles.
- ?️Triple Action Formula: Hivet works in three ways: it kills fungus (Powdery Mildew), controls mites (Acaricide), and feeds your crop essential Sulphur for better yield.
- ⏳Vapor Action Reach: The micronized particles release strong sulphur vapors that penetrate dense leaves, killing hidden spores that direct sprays might miss.
- ?️Scorch-Free Safety: Advanced formulation prevents the "lens effect," meaning it won't burn or scorch your leaves like older sulphur powders often did.
- ?Yield & Oil Booster: Sulphur is a vital nutrient. Hivet helps increase oil content in oilseeds and improves protein synthesis in pulses and legumes.

Mode of Action: How It Kills Fungus
Hivet is a "Multi-Site Contact Fungicide." This means it attacks the fungus at several different points, making it nearly impossible for diseases to build resistance.
- Energy Disruption ($S^0 \\rightarrow H_2S$): The sulphur particles penetrate the fungal cell. Inside, they interrupt the energy production process (electron transport), turning into Hydrogen Sulfide ($H_2S$) which destroys the fungus from the inside.
- Vapor Phase Action: Hivet continuously releases fumes (sublimation). These fumes travel through the air to reach pests and spores hiding under leaves or in tight flower buds where water sprays cannot reach.
- Nutritional Absorption: Upon washing into the soil, soil bacteria convert the sulphur into sulphate, which the plant roots absorb to boost growth, greenness, and oil production.
*Perfect for Resistance Management: Rotate Hivet with systemic fungicides to keep your crop protection program effective.
Target Crops & Pests List
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Grapes & Mango | Powdery Mildew (Uncinula necator / Oidium) |
| Apple | Scab (Venturia inaequalis), Powdery Mildew |
| Cumin, Peas, Cowpea, Guar | Powdery Mildew, Mites |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (gm / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (gm / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes / Mango | 750 - 1000g | 300 - 400 L | 2.5g | 0-3 Days |
| Apple / Cumin | 750 - 1000g | 300 - 400 L | 2.5g | 0-3 Days |
| Vegetables (Peas/Cowpea) | 750 - 1000g | 300 - 400 L | 2.5g | 0-3 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: Sulphur has a low toxicity profile, allowing for a very short waiting period before harvest.
How to Apply: Best Practices & The Oil Gap
- Timing: Apply in the early morning or late evening. Avoid spraying during peak heat (above 30°C) to prevent leaf scorching.
- Mixing: Use the "Bucket Method." Dissolve the required quantity of Hivet in a small bucket of water first, then add this solution to your main spray tank.
- Coverage: Ensure the spray covers both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves for maximum contact action.
- The Oil Gap (Critical): NEVER mix Sulphur with oil-based pesticides (EC formulations or Horticultural Oils). Do not apply Hivet within 14-21 days of an oil spray, or severe leaf burn will occur.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Hivet the same as bee hive treatments?
No. Hivet (Sulphur 80% WDG) is a crop fungicide. It must NOT be used inside bee hives or for apiculture. It is strictly for plants.
2. Does Hivet control sucking pests?
Hivet controls Mites (Acaricide) but is not an insecticide for aphids or thrips. However, it is often used alongside insecticides like "Baadshah" (Acetamiprid) for complete protection.
3. Can I use Hivet on all crops?
It is safe for most crops but avoid using it on "sulphur-shy" varieties like certain cucurbits (melons) or apricots in high heat. Always check a small area first.
4. What is the difference between WDG and Dust?
WDG (Water Dispersible Granules) are safer and more effective. They don't fly away like dust, they cover the leaf better, and they reduce the risk of burning the plant.
5. Is Hivet helpful for soil?
Yes. When Hivet washes into the soil, it lowers the pH slightly, which helps plants absorb locked nutrients like Zinc and Iron, especially in alkaline soils.
