GENERAL INFORMATION 
Some crops are susceptible to injury frO!"" sulfur under certain climatic conditions. The user is advised not to use on any 
crop unless local use has proven sulfur te be safe in thai locality Sulfur may burn foliage or cause fruit mjury when lem· 
peratures are excessively high. Do not aroy at such times. Do not apply to or allow spray drift on su:"ur sensitive plants 
such as apricots, cranberries, spinach ADply only to dormant Anjou pears. Do not use within two (2) weeks of ar 011 
treatment, except for dormant sprays on pears and apples. For citrus. do not apply within 21 days of an oil applicallOn 
Follow all other label directions or precautIOns as indicated When growing crops for processing, consult processor 
before applying sulfur. 
Nutrient Use 
Thiolux applications will provide sulfls Dr the plant's nutrient requirements and should be considered in the total plant 
nutrient applications. Thiolux can be used as a micronutrient supplement by either foliar or soil application, Thiolux is 
recommended but nollimited to use on the following crops: alfalfa, almonds, avocados, apples, barley. all beans. broc­
coli, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, citrus.. corn, grapes, lawns, melons, nectarines, pears, peaches. peppers, plums. 
prunes, potatoes, peanuts, sorghum, SC1y'tleans, sugar beets, strawberries. tomatoes, turnips, walnuts, watermelons, 
and wheat. Consult your State Agricultlsal Experimental Station or Extension Specialist for advice In selecting treat­
ments to best tit local conditions. 
DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION 
Fill spray tank half full with water. PolK needed amount into spray tank under agitation. If necessary, add a feN drops of 
oil to avoid foaming. Maintain agitation ttYoughout spray operation. 
Use lower recommended rates on following host and pest recommendation table when using concentrate equipment. 
Use higher rates when using dilute appIK:ations. 
Dilute Application 
Ground Application ~ Apply specified rate in 20 -60 gals, of water per acre. 
Orchard Application ~ Apply specified rate in 100 -800 gals. of water per ac re 
Concentrate Application 
Ground Application - Apply specified rate in 5 gals. or more water per acre 
Orchard Application - Apply specified rate in 20 - 100 gals. of water per acre. Special concentrate equipment is neces­
sary for these uses. 
Aerial Application 
Apply specified rate in 3 -20 gals. of water per acre. Orchard rates should not be applied in less than 10 gals. of water 
per acre. 
Chemlgatlon 
Thiolux may be applied through sprirlder systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow. side wheel roll, 
traveler, big gun, solid set, and hand fTIO'tIe. 00 not apply Thiolux through any other type irrigation system. Do not apply 
Thiolux through any irrigation system when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from uneven distribution of treated irrigation wata'. For center pivot 
systems, apply during one fun revolutioo of the system. For other systems listed above (Le .. p::>rtable or solid set 
systems), apply during the final 15 mirules of the irrigation period. Do not operate irrigation system after application 
until deposit has thoroughly dried. If you have questions about system operation or calibration, contact State Extension 
Service specialists or chemigation eqlipment manufacturers. 
THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN APPLYING PESTICIDES 
AND PLANT NUTRIENTS THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS: 
• A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the 
responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. Do not con­
nect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system 
unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. Public water system means 
any system for provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service 
connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 
• Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional. reduced-pressure zone, backflow 
preventer (RPZ) or the functional eqliYalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction, 
As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to 
pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and 
the top or overtlow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe 
• The pesticide injection system must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the fiow of C I I I 
fluid back toward the injection pump. , I (. C 
• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional. normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on thEi c t 
intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the 
supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. 
• The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injectioh ~')uMp when 
" 
the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure Jecreas*,"s to the( f l (.. 
point where pesticide distribution is achoersely affected. ' , r { •• 
• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm~jJ..J.nlp) effec- (: e" 
tively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of b<>:i'1£ fit'ed with at t l (. ~ 
system interlock. 
• The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located ~ ~ l l 
on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. ( [ , ~ " ~. 
• The irrigation line or water pump must irdude a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when, 
the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. ~ ~ l {
