Syngenta Thionutri (Sulphur 80% WDG) – Triple Action Fungicide & Growth Booster
Unlock the power of "Triple Action" protection: A powerful fungicide, an effective miticide, and an essential plant nutrient in one advanced formula.
Syngenta Thionutri is a high-quality Sulphur 80% WDG (Water Dispersible Granule) formulation. Unlike older dust powders, Thionutri uses "micronization technology" to break sulfur into microscopic particles. This ensures it dissolves instantly in water, spreads evenly over leaves, and provides superior protection against Powdery Mildew and Mites while boosting plant health by correcting sulfur deficiencies.
Best for: Farmers looking for a cost-effective, resistance-breaking fungicide that also improves crop quality and yield.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Instant Dispersion (WDG Tech): Unlike messy powders, these granules dissolve in water within seconds. No dust, no clogging nozzles, and safe for the operator.
- ?️Triple Action Power: Acts as a Fungicide (stops disease), Acaricide (kills mites), and Fertilizer (provides Sulfur for protein and oil synthesis).
- ⏳Resistance Fighter: With a multi-site mode of action, it kills fungi in multiple ways, making it nearly impossible for diseases to develop resistance.
- ?️Rainfast & Persistent: The micronized particles stick firmly to the leaf surface, providing longer-lasting protection even in challenging weather.
- ?Greening Effect: Supplies essential sulfur, increasing chlorophyll production for greener, healthier leaves and higher oil content in seeds.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Thionutri works through "contact action." When sprayed, the fine sulfur particles adhere to the leaf. They release sulfur vapor which attacks the fungus in three ways:
- Vapor Penetration: The sulfur vapor enters the fungal spores directly through their cell walls.
- Energy Blockade: Inside the fungus, sulfur disrupts the respiratory system, effectively "starving" the disease of the energy it needs to grow.
- Toxic Accumulation: It interferes with proteins inside the fungal cell, leading to the formation of Hydrogen Sulfide, which destroys the fungus from the inside.
Because it attacks multiple systems at once, fungi cannot easily develop resistance to Thionutri.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Grapes | Powdery Mildew |
| Mango | Powdery Mildew, Mites (Suppression) |
| Apple | Scab, Powdery Mildew |
| Cumin (Jeera) | Powdery Mildew |
| Vegetables (Pea, Cowpea) | Powdery Mildew, Rusts, Mites |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Thionutri relies on good coverage, so ensure sufficient water volume.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (gm / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (gm / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | 750 - 1000 | 300 - 400 | 2.5 gm/L | 0 - 3 |
| Mango | 800 - 1000 | 400 - 500 | 2.0 gm/L | 0 - 3 |
| Apple | 800 - 1000 | 300 - 400 | 2.5 gm/L | 0 - 3 |
| Cumin/Veg | 600 - 800 | 200 - 300 | 2.5 - 3 gm/L | 0 - 3 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply prophylactically (before disease is severe). Avoid applying when temperatures exceed 30°C (86°F) to prevent leaf burn.
- Mixing: Perform a "Jar Test" before mixing with other chemicals. CRITICAL: Do NOT mix with oils (Neem oil, EC formulations) or apply within 14-21 days of an oil spray.
- Coverage: Sulfur works by contact. You must "paint" the entire plant surface, including the undersides of leaves, for it to be effective.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Thionutri really increase crop yield?
Yes. By providing essential sulfur (the 4th major nutrient), it helps plants synthesize proteins and oils. This is especially beneficial for oilseed crops like Groundnut and Cumin.
2. Can I mix Thionutri with oil-based pesticides?
No. Mixing sulfur with oils causes severe phytotoxicity (plant burning). Always keep a gap of at least 2 weeks between sulfur and oil applications.
3. Is it safe for bees?
Yes, Thionutri is relatively non-toxic to bees, making it a safer choice during flowering stages compared to harsh synthetic chemicals. Spraying in the evening is still recommended.
4. What is the difference between WDG and Powder?
WDG (Water Dispersible Granules) are dust-free, safer to handle, and dissolve instantly in water without clumping, ensuring a uniform spray concentration.
5. What is the Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)?
Thionutri has a very short PHI (typically 0-3 days), allowing you to protect your crop right up until harvest without worrying about dangerous residues.
