Description
Lime Sulphur
A standard fungicide solution, used for the control of scale insects on peaches, erinose mite on vines ,and various mites on citrus. Ideal to prevent over wintering of common pests and fungi. May be used on deciduous and evergreens.
Used for controlling:
- Anthracnose
- Mealy Bug
- Mites
- Powdery Mildew
- Scale
- Wooly aphids
Suggested apllication:
- Dilute at a ratio of 1:20 (Lime sulphur : water).
- 1:30 at higher temperatures above 20 degree C.
Apply to trees during winter dormancy when nighttime temperatures are close to zero and daytime temperatures between 10 – 20 degrees. You should repeat the treatment 2 – 3 times, roughly one month apart. If the trees are actively growing when the 3rd treatment is due or temperatures are above 20 degrees then rather skip it.
Ensure you thoroughly wet the needles, branches and trunk. Lime sulphur dripping onto the soil is ok, however do not immerse the roots in the treatment. Should you wish to avoid staining containers you will need to wrap them with wet towels or newspaper and allow the tree to drip dry before removing the protection. No wetting agent is needed.
