Why Choose Sulfin Plus? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Triple Action Formula: Works as a fungicide (kills fungus), acaricide (kills mites), and a plant nutrient (provides Sulphur) all in one spray.
- ?️Advanced WDG Technology: The granules are dust-free, making them safer to handle than powders. They dissolve instantly in water for uniform spraying.
- ⏳Resistance Fighter: Ideal for managing resistance management (IRM). It works on multiple sites within the fungus, preventing pests from becoming immune.
- ?️Eco-Friendly Profile: Labeled with a Green Triangle (Slightly Toxic), making it safer for the applicator and suitable for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
- ?Boosts Yield & Quality: Provides essential Sulphur which improves chlorophyll, protein synthesis, and oil content in oilseed crops.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Sulfin Plus works through "Contact and Vapor Action." It targets the respiratory system of the fungus.
- Contact Vapor: Sulphur particles land on the leaf and release vapors that penetrate the fungal spores.
- Energy Block: Once inside, it disrupts the electron transport chain in the fungus's mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell).
- Toxic Elimination: The fungus turns the sulphur into Hydrogen Sulfide, which is toxic to its own proteins, causing rapid cell death.
Note: This multi-site action makes it very hard for fungi to develop resistance against Sulfin Plus.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes & Apple | 750 - 1000 g | 300 - 400 L | 2.5 g | 7 - 14 Days |
| Mango | 750 - 1000 g | 300 - 400 L | 2.5 g | 7 - 14 Days |
| Cumin & Groundnut | 750 - 1000 g | 300 - 400 L | 2.5 g | 7 - 14 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. *Note: For export grapes, stop spraying 30-45 days before harvest to avoid residue.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray during the early morning or late evening. Avoid spraying if the temperature is above 30°C to prevent leaf burning (scorching).
- Mixing: Slowly add the required quantity of granules to water while stirring. They will disperse quickly.
- Coverage: Use a hollow cone nozzle for a fine mist. Ensure full coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces for mite control.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Sulfin Plus with oil-based pesticides?
No. Never mix sulphur with oil sprays (like Neem oil or Emulsifiable Concentrates). You must leave a gap of at least 14 to 30 days between using Sulphur and Oil to avoid burning the crop.
2. Is Sulfin Plus better than Sulphur powder (dust)?
Yes. The WDG formulation has a smaller particle size (1-8 microns), which means better coverage and faster action. It is also dust-free, making it much safer to inhale and handle.
3. Does it kill mites?
Yes, it is effective against Red Spider Mites and other mite species, especially in crops like Tea and Grapes.
4. Can I use it on all crops?
It is safe for most crops, but be careful with "Sulphur-shy" varieties (like certain Cucurbits or specific Apple varieties) which may get damaged. Always test on a small area first.
5. What is the shelf life of this product?
When stored in a cool, dry place in original packaging, it typically has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture.
