Description Sulphur is an essential nutrient for a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops and required in considerable amounts. Cereals, oilseed rape and multi-cut grass are especially demanding of sulphur. Soil sulphur is easily leached making shallow-rooting plants particularly vulnerable to deficiency. Availability varies with soil and area and it is possible for any soil to be deficient. Soils of pH less than 5 or more than 8 have particularly limited sulphur availability. Headland Sulphur is a suspension of finely milled sulphur having particles of an average size of three microns. As a preventative spray it is particularly effective against powdery mildew on a wide range of crops. It is also effective against scab on apples & pears. Best results are achieved by applying a protective cover before infection is established & maintaining this by regular applications throughout the period during which the crop may be susceptible to infection. Good cover of foliage is essential for maximum disease control. If the disease is already established the crop should be treated with an eradicant fungicide after which sulphur can be used.
