Sulphur powder
Sulphur powder
Sulphur Powder is a vital secondary nutrient and natural fungicide widely used in agriculture. It supplies elemental sulfur (S), which plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, enzyme activity, and chlorophyll formation. Regular application improves soil health, corrects sulfur deficiency, and promotes better crop quality. Sulfur Powder also helps in reducing soil alkalinity (pH adjustment) and enhances nutrient availability. Its fungicidal action protects crops from diseases like powdery mildew, rust, and leaf spots.

Key Features & Benefits
1)High-purity elemental Sulphur for effective nutrient supply.
2)Corrects Sulphur deficiency and enhances nitrogen utilization.
3)Promotes chlorophyll formation for greener, healthier plants.
4)Improves protein synthesis and oil content in oilseed crops.
5)Helps in reducing soil pH, increasing micronutrient availability.
6)Acts as a contact fungicide, protecting against powdery mildew and other fungal diseases.
Enhances crop yield, quality, and disease resistance.
Suitable for both nutrient management and plant protection.
Specifications & Packaging
1)Chemical Formula: S
2)Sulfur Content: 85–99% (depending on grade)
3)Form: Fine yellow powder
4)Solubility: Insoluble in water (works gradually in soil)
5)pH Effect: Acid-forming (reduces alkalinity)
6)Packaging: 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 25 kg HDPE bags/pouches with liner
Applications
1)Suitable for cereals (wheat, rice, maize), pulses, and oilseeds.
2)Highly recommended for oilseed crops (mustard, groundnut, soybean, sunflower) to increase oil content.
3)Widely used in fruit crops like grapes, mango, banana, pomegranate, and citrus.
4)Effective for vegetable crops such as tomato, chilli, onion, garlic, and leafy greens.
5)Works as both a soil amendment and a fungicide.
Usage Note
1)Soil Application: 8–12 kg per acre depending on soil test results and crop requirement.
2)Fungicidal Use (Dusting/Spraying):
3)Dusting: Apply fine powder directly on affected plants (2–3 kg per acre).
4)Spraying: Prepare a suspension (2–3 g per liter of water) using wettable sulfur formulations.
5)Avoid spraying during very hot weather (>30°C) to prevent leaf scorch.
Safety & Handling
1)Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from heat and moisture.
2)Highly flammable – keep away from open flames and sparks.
3)Use gloves, masks, and protective eyewear during handling.
4)Avoid inhalation of dust; use in well-ventilated areas.
5)Keep out of reach of children, animals, food, and feed.
6)Wash thoroughly after handling; in case of skin/eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
