sulfur powder (????) 50gr For medical use Chemical powder: Pure, clean, yellow Sulfur powder. Mineral. 50 grams. Sulfur has many uses. CAUTION: Airborne Dust is potentially flammable. Elemental sulfur is used as a fungicide, insecticide, and fumigant; a prime ingredient in black gunpowder, matches, and fireworks; in the vulcanizationof rubber; in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers; and in the treatment of certain skin diseases. The principal use of sulfur, however, is in the preparation of its various compounds. The most important sulfur compound is sulfuric acid. Elemental Sulfur, also known as Brimstone in its natural state, has been used by humans for thousands of years. It is a non-metallic element,"S" on the periodic chart, with an Atomic number of 16. Sulfur is used in everything from automobile tires to veterinary medicinal salves. The familiar rotten egg odor in drinking water is a result of minute releases of hydrogen sulfide gas, which is toxic. In its pure state, sulfur is odorless and has many beneficial properties. One of the first pesticides was sulfur, used by the Chinese in around 1,000 BC to control bacteria and mold (fungus). Sulfur is still widely used today. For example, it is used in fungicides to control diseases on both agricultural and ornamental plants, and in the wine industry, sulfur is used to control unwanted bacterial growth in empty wine barrels and is commonly added to wine to kill unwanted yeast. Sulfur is a non-systemic contact and protective fungicide with secondary acaricidal activity. It is used for control of brown rot of peaches, powdery mildew of apples, gooseberries, hops, ornamentals, grapes, peaches, strawberries, sugar beets, apple scab, gall mite on blackcurrant, peanut leaf spot, mildew on roses, mites on beans, carrots, melons, and tomatoes, etc. The active ingredient sulfur is found in a variety of commercial fungicides. Sulfur is used to control and kill spider mites. Sulfur has been known and used as a pesticide since very early times, and has been registered for pesticide use in the United States since the 1920s. It was first used around 1880. Currently, sulfur is registered in the U.S. by EPA for use as an insecticide, fungicide, and rodenticide on several hundred food and feed crop, ornamental, turf and residential sites. It is also used as a fertilizer or soil amendment for reclaiming alkaline soils. Sulfur is applied in dust, granular or liquid form, and is an active ingredient in nearly 300 registered pesticide products Sulfur is known to be of low toxicity, and poses very little if any risk to human and animal health. Short-term studies show that sulfur is of very low acute oral toxicity and does not irritate the skin (it has been placed in EPA Toxicity Category IV, the least toxic category, for these effects). Sulfur also is not a skin sensitizer. However, it can cause some eye irritation, dermal toxicity and inhalation hazards. When taken orally, it has a mild laxative action Sulfur is used at 4 lbs/acre Sulfur has been predicted by a new risk model to cause significant “bird kill”at the rates at which it is commonly used – particularly on grapes (table, wine, raisin) Sulfur is the most widely used fungicide/miticide in Organic agriculture Using sulfur as a pesticide: 1. Fill an old-fashioned flour sifter with powdered sulfur. Hold the sifter 1 to 2 feet above the plants, and sift the sulfur over them to give them a light dusting. The coat of sulfur should be heavy enough that it is easily visible but still light enough that you can see the color of the leaves beneath it. 2. Spray a lime-sulfur or wettable sulfur spray on any part of the plant that isn't covered with dust. A light mist on the bare spots is enough to get the job done. Combination lime-sulfur spray is much more effective than wettable sulfur, so use the combination if it is available in your area. 3. Examine your plants daily. If you notice that the insects have come back, reapply the sulfur. Caution!: Not intended for internal use (even though sulfur is a necessary micro-mineral). Avoid exposure to lungs, skin or eyes. Dust is flammable. Do not burn. Burning fumes can be toxic.
