, . 
) 
) 
Store in a dry location away from children, animals, foods, feeds, seeds, or other 
agricultural chemicals. Handle in accordance with information given under 
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENJS .. In the event of spillage or leakage, soak up 
material with absorbent clay, sand, sawdust, or other absorbent material. Scrape up 
and dispose of in accordance with information given under DISPOSAL. Repackage· 
and relabel useable products in a sound container. In case of fire or other 
emergency, report at once by toll-free telephone to 800-424-9300. 
DISPOSAL 
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be 
disposed of on site or at an approved waste dispos~1 facility. . 
CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Plastic containers-Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer 
for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or 
incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay 
out of smoke. 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
Do not combine with emulsifiable liquids unless previous use of the mixture has 
proved physically compatible and safe to plants. Do not apply when shade 
temperatures exceed or are likely to exc~ed 90°F. (Cotton is not sensitive to sulfur 
at high temperatures.) Do not use sulfur with oil or within 30 days of an oil spray 
(for citrus 60 days). NOTE: Sulfur will cause severe fruit and leaf injury to sulfur­
sensitive crops. Do not apply or allow to drift to apricots, cranberries, cucurbits 
(cantaloupes, cucumbers, melons, squash), filberts, d' Anjou and Comice pears, 
spinach, tung trees, walnuts or other sensitive plants. Sulfur may burn foliage and 
fruit during periods of high temperatures and under certain climatic conditions. 
Before using, stir until smooth! Wash recommended amount through screen into 
partially filled spray tank or premix in a small amount of water before pouring into 
tank. Do not use a screen finer than 50 mesh in entire system. Keep agitator 
running during filling and spraying operation. Do not allow mixture to .stand. Failure 
to maintain agitation will cause sulfur to settle and necessitate manual removal of 
the deposit. SULFUR 6L has strong adhesive properties_that will act as a sticker and 
deposit builder for other spray materials. Applications made within 30 days of 
harvest may result in excessive spray residue on fruit when picked. 
APPLICATION AND CALIBRATION TECHNIQUES FOR SPRINKLER IRRIGATION 
Apply this product only through the following types of irrigation systems. Do not 
apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of 
effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform 
distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should 
contact State Experiment Station specialist, equipment manufacturers·, or other

) 
) 
experts. Do not connect an irrgation system (including areenhouse systems) used 
for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label­
prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person 
knowledaeable 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. 
A. Center Pivot, Traveler, Big Gun, Motorized Lateral Move, End Tow, and Side 
(Wheel) Roll Irrigation Equipment: Operate system and injection equipment at normal 
pressures recommended by the manufacturer of injection equipment used. Fill tank 
of injection equipment with water. Operate system for one complete circle for 
center pivot or one complete run for the other recpmmended equipment, measuring 
time required amount of water injected. and acreage contained in circle or run. Mix 
recommended amount of SULFUR 6L for acreage to be covered into same amount of 
water used during calibration and inject into system continuously for one revolution 
or run, but continue to operate irrigation system until SULFUR 6L has been cleared 
from last sprinkler head. Spray mixture in the chemical supply tank must be 
aggitated at all times, otherwise settling, ~nd uneven application may occur. 
B. Solid Set and Hand Move Irrigation Equipment: Determine acreage covered by 
sprinkler. Fill tank of injection equipment with water and adjust flow to use contents 
over a thirty to forty·five minute period. Mix desired amount of SULFUR 6L for 
acreage to be covered into quantity of water used during calibration and operate 
entire system at normal pressures recommended by the manufacturer of injection 
equipment used for amount of time established during calibration. Provide constant 
mechanical agitation in the mix tank to insure that SULFUR 6L will remain in 
suspension during the injection cycle. SULFUR 6L can be injected at the beginning 
or end of the irrigation cycle or as a separate application. Stop injection equipment 
after treatment is completed and continue to operate irrigation system until SULFUR 
6L has been cleared from last sprinkler head. 
, SAFETY DEVICES 
(1) The systems designated above must contain a functional check valve, vacuum 
relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to ' 
prevent water source contamination from backflow. (2) All pesticide injection 
pipelines must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent 
the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. (3) The pesticide injection pipeline 
must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid·operated valve located on 
the 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. (4) The system must contain 
functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump 
when the water pump motor stops. 
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which 
will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point

. . 
) 
0) 
. where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. (6) Systems must use a metering 
pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.a., diaphragm pump) 
effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides 
and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. (7) Dc not apply when wind 
speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SOURCES 
Public water system means a system for the 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, back flow presenter (RPZ) or the functional equivalent 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 discarded 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 overflow rim of the 
. reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. The system must 
contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide 
injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no 
water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide 
distribution is adversely affected. 
For additional instructions on safety precautions, refer to statements (2). (3), (4), 
(6), and (7) in the section on SAFETY DEVICES. 
FIELD CROPS 
APPLICATION INFORMATION: 
All dosage rates are given as pints of SULFUR 6L per acre of crop, unless otherwise 
specified. SULFUR 6L may be applied by ground equipment, aircraft, or through 
sprinkler irrigation equipment it is essential that 'SULFUR 6L be applied in sufficient 
water to provide adequate coverage of the crop being treated. 
Unless otherwise specified, use the high dosage rate if conditions for disease 
pressure are great; use the low rate if disease is light or moderate. 
Applications on sulfur-sensitive crops should be made when lower temperatures are 
expected. 
SULFUR 6L is adaptable to spraying from all types of spray equipment. For dilute, 
high volume sprays apply 25 to 100 ga\lons per acre (GPA) for most vegetable 
crops, 400 to 800 GPA for fruit orchards and up to 1500 GPA as may be required 
for large citrus groves. For concentrate ground sprays, use 5 to 20 GPA for most 
vegetable crops and 25 to 100 GPA for fruit and nut crops. For aerial spraying, 3 to

TREE FRUITS 
APPLICATION INFORMATION: 
All dosage rates for tree fruits. unless otherwise specified. are given as pints of 
SULFUR 6L per 100 gallons of water per acre to be applied as a thorough coverage 
spray. The total amount of SULFUR 6L to be applied should be between 2 to 4 
gallons per acre, depending on the size of the trees. Because of variations in the 
types of spray equipment suitable for use, a range of low and high rates is provided. 
For high volume sprayers (output 800 to 1,000 gallons of spray per acre!. use the 
low rate; for low volume sprayers (output 20 to 300 gallons of spray per acre), use
