USE PRECAUTIONS 
IMPORTANT: Do not apply this product if temperatures during or within 3 days after application are expected to exceed gO°F in 
the area to be treated. Do not make applications within 2 weeks of an oil spray. Sulfur may burn foliage and fruit during periods of 
high temperature and under certain climatic conditions. 
CALIFORNIA DRIFT RESTRICTIONS 
The following conditions must be followed when using this product in the State of California for both ground and air applications. 
1. The operator of the property and the applicator must establish a buffer zone of enough distance to prevent drift onto non-target 
areas such as hospitals, clinics, schools, residential areas and any other area designated by the county agricultural commissioner. 
2. The operator of the property and the applicator must evaluate the method and equipment for each site to ensure proper and safe 
use. Evaluations shall include, but not be limited to the appropriateness of ground or air application. 
3. Sulfur shall not be applied when the wind velocity exceeds 10 miles per hour. Applicators should be aware that in some areas, 
"dead calm" conditions are often associated with an inversion situation. In these arec;lS, applying sulfur when there is a minimum air 
movement of 2 miles per hour will ensure that an inversion situation does not exist. 
4. When applying sulfur dust, best application practices should be utilized. Contact your local pest control advisor or county 
cooperative extension advisor to obtain information regarding best application practices.

GENERAL INFORMATION 
When growing crops for processing, consult the processor before applying sulfur. Consult your State Agricultural Experimental Station 
or your State Agricultural Extension Service for additional information consistent with label cautions and directions. 
This material is recommended for application by ground or air. 
Where recommended for prevention of Powdery Mildew, apply when disease first appears and repeat at 7 to 10 day intervals 
throughoutthe growing season. Shorten the interval during humid, rainy weather. The "Brown Rot" referred to throughoutthis label 
is Monilinia Brown Rot blossom blight. 
Where recommended for prevention of Brown Rot, apply at pink bud or popcorn stage during bloom and at petal fall, shuck split 
and shuck fall. Repeat at 1 0-14 day intervals in cover sprays as long as necessary. For mites, apply when pests appear and repeat as 
necessary. 
CROPS AND APPLICATION RATES 
ALFALFA: For the control of Atlantic Mite, Spider Mite and Clover Mite use 20 to 35 Ibs. per acre. 
ALMONDS, CHERRIES, PEACHES, PLUMS, PRUNES, NECTARINES: For the control of Brown Rot, Cherry Leaf Spot, Peach 
Silvermite, Rust (Tranzachelia) and Powdery Mildew use at the rate of 30 to 60 Ibs. per acre. Apply as described above when disease 
threatens during rain periods and repeat at 7 to 10 day intervals. 
APPLES and PEARS: For control of Scab and Powdery Mildew use 45 to 60 Ibs. per acre. On pears do not apply after the fruit 
begins to turn down. Check tolerance prior to using on apples as sulfur may injure certain varieties. 
ASPARAGUS: For control of Rust use 20to 451bs. per acre. Dust after cutting stops, irrigate, cultivate, then apply the sulfur. Repeat 
at 7 to 10 day intervals. 
BEANS: Forthe control of Pacific Mite (Red Spider), Bean Rust, Thrips, Spider Mites use 15 to 30 Ibs. per acre. For Rust control, Pow­
dery Mildew, use 30 to 351bs. per acre. For Rust control start applications as soon as first true leaves form and continue at weekly 
intervals until blossom time. Certain varieties may be injured by applications of sulfu r. For these crops, it is recommended that a test 
be conducted on a small number of plants to check for sulfur sensitivity prior to application to the entire field. 
BLACKBERRIES, GOOSEBERRIES, LOGANBERRIES, STRAWBERRIES, RASPBERRIES and BOYSENBERRIES: 
For control of Powdery Mildew use 10 to 251bs. per acre. Apply when disease first appears and repeat as necessary to maintain 
control. 
CARROTS and ONIONS: For the control of Petrobia Mite use 10 to 45 Ibs. per acre. 
CITRUS: For the control of Citrus Thrips, Citrus Flat Mite, Yuma Spider Mite, Six-Spotted Mite and Citrus Rust Mite use 45 to 150 Ibs. 
per acre. Apply when pests first appear and repeat as necessary. Do not use within 21 days of an oil spray treatment. 
CORN: For the control of Spider Mites use 20 to 35 Ibs. per acre. 
COTTON: For control of Atlantic Mite and Flea Hopper apply 35 to 40 Ibs. per acre. 
FIGS: For control of Fig Rust Mite in spring and early summer. Dust at 451bs. per acre when damage to foliage (russeting) appears. 
A second application may be necessary. 
GRAPES: For the control of Powdery Mildew use 5 to 251bs. per acre. Make first application when shoots are 6 to 8 inches long. 
Make a second application when shoots are 12 to 15 inches long and the third about 14 days later. Repeat applications at 10 to 14 
day intervals to protect new growth. Avoid applications during hot weather as injury may occur. Concord and other Labrusca type 
grapes may be injured by sulfur. 
HOPS: For control of Red Spider Mites use 20 to 35 Ibs. per acre. 
MELONS: Use 25 to 40 Ibs. per acre for control of Powdery Mildew. Powdery Mildew may be controlled by dusting but the sulfur 
often injures the vines, particularly if the temperature reaches 95 degrees F. Treat when disease first appears. Use 50 to 80 Ibs. per 
acre to control Spider Mites. Certain varieties may be injured by applications of sulfur. For these crops, it is recommended that a test 
be conducted on a small number of plants to check for sulfur sensitivity prior to application to the entire field. 
OLIVES: For control of Olive Mite. Apply 55 to 80 Ibs. per acre. Do not use sulfur in hot weather as damage may result to crop and 
foliage. 
ORNAMENTALS (Asters, Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Hollyhocks, Roses): For the control of Rust, Powdery Mildew dust
