Sulphin Fungicide (Sulphur 80% WDG) by Crystal Crop Protection
The "Triple Action" Solution: Fungicide, Miticide, and Growth Promoter.
Sulphin is a premium contact fungicide containing Sulphur 80% WDG (Water Dispersible Granule). Unlike older powders that are dusty and hard to mix, Sulphin uses advanced micronization technology to create particles between 2 to 6 microns in size. This ultra-fine size ensures instant dispersion in water, uniform coverage on leaves, and powerful protection against Powdery Mildew and Mites.

Best For: Farmers looking for a cost-effective solution that controls disease while acting as a vital crop nutrient.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Instant Mixing (WDG Tech): Sulphin comes in a granule form that dissolves instantly in water. No dust, no lumps, and no clogged nozzles.
- ?️Triple Action Protection: It works in three ways: it kills fungus (Powdery Mildew), suppresses mites (Acaricide), and feeds the plant essential Sulphur (Nutrient).
- ⏳Superior Coverage: The micronized particles ($2-6 \\\\\\\\mu m$) cover a larger surface area of the leaf compared to standard sulphur, creating a tighter "protective grid."
- ?️Excellent Rainfastness: The fine particles stick firmly to the leaf surface and waxy coating, making them resistant to wind and light rain.
- ?Boosts Crop Greenness: Sulphur is a key nutrient for chlorophyll. Using Sulphin helps correct sulphur deficiency, leading to greener, healthier leaves.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Sulphin acts as a Multi-Site Contact Fungicide. It is difficult for fungi to develop resistance to it because it attacks the pathogen in multiple ways.
- Energy Blockade: The sulphur particles penetrate fungal cells and disrupt their respiration (mitochondria). This stops the fungus from producing energy (ATP), causing it to die.
- Self-Poisoning ($H_2S$): Inside the fungus, sulphur reacts to form Hydrogen Sulfide ($H_2S$), which is toxic to the cell.
- Fumigant Action on Mites: At appropriate temperatures, Sulphin releases sulphur vapors. These vapors enter the breathing system of mites (like Red Spider Mites), acting as a fumigant poison.
Note: Sulphin is a "Protectant." It works best when applied before the disease spreads severely.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Grapes | Powdery Mildew, Mites |
| Apple & Mango | Powdery Mildew, Scab (Suppression), Mites |
| Cumin (Jeera), Pea, Cowpea, Guar | Powdery Mildew |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Sulphin requires thorough coverage to be effective.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | 750 – 1000 g | 300 – 400 L | 2.5 – 3 g/L | 7* |
| Apple / Mango | 750 – 1000 g | 300 – 400 L | 2.5 – 3 g/L | 7 |
| Cumin / Vegetables | 750 – 1000 g | 300 – 400 L | 2.5 – 3 g/L | 7 |
*PHI for wine grapes may be significantly longer (30+ days) to protect fermentation. Check local export regulations.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as a preventive spray (before disease is severe). For grapes, start at the 3-5 leaf stage. Avoid spraying during the hottest part of the day (mid-day).
- Mixing: Fill the tank halfway with water. Pour Sulphin granules slowly while stirring. They will disperse instantly. Fill the rest of the tank.
- Coverage: Sulphur only protects where it touches. Ensure thorough coverage of both sides of the leaf.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Sulphin with Oil or Neem Oil?
NO. This is the most important rule. You must wait 14 to 30 days between a Sulphin spray and any oil-based spray. Mixing them will burn the crop (phytotoxicity).
2. Is Sulphin safe for all crops?
Most crops are safe, but avoid using it on "sulphur-shy" plants like Cucurbits (Cucumber, Melons, Pumpkin, Squash) as it can burn the leaves.
3. How does it help with Mites?
Sulphur releases vapors that suffocate mites. Regular use of Sulphin keeps mite populations low, often reducing the need for expensive chemical acaricides.
4. What is the particle size advantage?
Sulphin has a controlled particle size of 2-6 microns. Smaller particles cover more leaf area and stick better than the larger particles found in cheap sulphur dusts.
5. Does it help with resistance management?
Yes. Sulphin is a multi-site fungicide. Tank-mixing it with systemic fungicides (like Triazoles) prevents the fungus from becoming resistant to the systemic medicine.
