Sulfin Plus Fungicide (Sulphur 80% WDG) | Broad-Spectrum Disease & Mite Control
The Ultimate 3-in-1 Solution: Fungicide, Miticide, and Plant Nutrient by Insecticides (India) Ltd.
Sulfin Plus is a premium Sulphur 80% WDG (Water Dispersible Granule) formulation designed for modern farming. Unlike messy powders, these advanced granules dissolve instantly to provide superior coverage. It effectively fights Powdery Mildew, Scab, and Mites while simultaneously providing essential Sulphur nutrients to boost crop growth and greenery.
Best For: Grapes, Apples, Mangoes, Cumin, and Groundnuts.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Instant Dispersion (WDG Tech): Advanced "Dry Flowable" granules dissolve immediately in water. No dust, no lumps, and safer for the farmer to handle.
-
🛡️
Triple Action Protection: Works as a Fungicide (disease killer), Acaricide (mite killer), and a Micronutrient (plant food) all in one spray.
-
⏳
Prevents Resistance: Acts as a "Multi-site" contact fungicide. It is an excellent tank-mix partner to prevent pests from becoming immune to other chemicals.
-
🌧️
Superior Rainfastness & Coverage: Micro-particles (1–8 microns) stick better to leaves, providing long-lasting protection even in challenging weather.
-
🌿
Boosts Yield & Oil Content: Corrects sulphur deficiency in soil, leading to greener leaves (chlorophyll boost) and higher oil content in crops like groundnut.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Sulfin Plus works on three levels to ensure total crop protection:
- Contact Vapor Action: Upon spraying, sulphur particles release vapor that penetrates fungal spores and mite pests, even in hard-to-reach areas.
- Energy Blockage: Inside the pathogen, the sulphur disrupts the mitochondria (energy center), stopping respiration and killing the fungus rapidly via the formation of toxic Hydrogen Sulfide ($H_2S$).
- Nutritional Uptake: The sulphur oxidizes into sulfates in the soil, which the plant roots absorb to produce essential proteins and chlorophyll.
Note: Because it attacks multiple parts of the fungus cell, it is very hard for diseases to develop resistance against Sulfin Plus.
Target Crops & Pests

| Groundnut | Tikka Leaf Spot, Rust |
| Cumin (Jeera) & Peas | Powdery Mildew, Rust |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes & Apple | 750g – 1000g | 300 – 400 L | 2.5g | 30-45* (Export) |
| Mango & Cumin | 750g – 1000g | 300 – 400 L | 2.5g | 3 - 7 |
| Groundnut & Cowpea | 750g – 1000g | 300 – 400 L | 2.5g | 3 - 7 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: Wait 30-45 days for export table grapes to ensure zero visual residue. For local markets, 3-7 days is sufficient.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray during early morning or late evening. Avoid spraying if temperature exceeds 30°C to prevent leaf scorching (burning).
- Mixing: Never mix Sulfin Plus with oil-based formulations (EC, Neem oil, or mineral oil). Keep a gap of 14-21 days between a sulphur spray and an oil spray.
- Coverage: Use a hollow cone nozzle for a fine mist. Ensure complete coverage of both sides of the leaves, as Sulphur works by contact and vapor.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Sulfin Plus with Neem Oil or other oils?
No. Mixing sulphur with any type of oil (mineral or organic) will cause severe phytotoxicity (burns) to your plants. Maintain a 2-week gap between oil and sulphur sprays.
2. Does Sulfin Plus kill mites?
Yes, it is effective against Red Spider Mites and other mite species. The sulphur vapor kills mites hiding under the leaves and in webs.
3. Is this product safe for bees?
Yes, Sulfin Plus carries a Green Label and is practically non-toxic to bees, making it a safe choice for crops like Mango during flowering.
4. What is the difference between WP and WDG?
WDG (Water Dispersible Granules) is superior to WP (Wettable Powder). WDG is dust-free, dissolves instantly without lumps, and provides better coverage on the leaf surface.
5. Will this help if my soil is sulphur deficient?
Yes. While primarily a fungicide, the elemental sulphur in Sulfin Plus enters the soil and converts to sulfate, correcting yellowing in plants and improving protein synthesis.
