Description:

AGRIVENTURE SULPH GOLD is a multi-action contact fungicide, acaricide, and secondary plant nutrient. It is commonly used to prevent and control powdery mildew, scab, and mites in crops like grapes, mango, apples, and peas.

Technical content: Sulphur 80% WDG

Key Features & Benefits:

• Triple Action: Functions simultaneously as a fungicide, an acaricide (miticide), and a secondary macronutrient (Sulphur).
• Advanced WDG Technology: Disperses instantly in water and stays in high suspension, preventing leaf scorch or burning while ensuring even coverage.
• Disease Control: Highly effective in preventing and treating fungal infections such as powdery mildew, rust, and leaf spots on crops like grapes, mangoes, apples, cumin, and various vegetables.
• Mite Suppression: Suppresses mite infestations (including spider mites) that damage foliage and fruit.
• Nutrient Boost: Supplies the plant with active Sulphur, which is vital for chlorophyll formation, protein synthesis, and improving overall crop quality and color.
• Safe & Eco-Friendly: Dust-free granules make it much safer and easier for the applicator to measure and mix compared to traditional powders. It leaves no visible stains on fruits and leaves.

Crops suitability:

• Fruits: Grapes, Apple, Mango
• Spices: Cumin
• Pulses & Legumes: Cowpea, Guar, Pea
• Cereals: Wheat
• Vegetables & Ornamentals: Suitable for a wide variety of standard vegetable and vine plants

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases):

1. Fungal Diseases:

• Powdery Mildew: Highly effective for controlling white powdery growth on leaves and stems in crops like grapes, mangoes, peas, cowpeas, apples, and cumin.
• Rusts: Prevents and cures rust disease on various field and garden crops.
• Scab: Particularly used for managing apple scab.
• Leaf Spots: Controls fungal leaf spots, including Tikka leaf spot in groundnuts.

2. Mites & Pests:

• Spider Mites & Rust Mites: Controls various mite populations (including eriophyid mites) by disrupting their metabolism and causing suffocation.

3. Nutrient Supplementation:

• Sulphur Deficiency: As the "fourth major nutrient", it corrects soil sulphur deficiencies to improve crop yield, color, and oil content (e.g., in mustard and oilseeds).

Mode of entry:

• Contact Action: The active ingredient does not penetrate the plant tissues. Instead, it creates a protective barrier on the surface of leaves and fruits to prevent fungal spores from germinating and penetrating the plant.
• Vapor Action: At warmer temperatures, it emits sufficient vapor to inhibit the growth of fungal spores (such as powdery mildew).

Mode of action:

• Metabolic Disruption: It interferes with the vital cellular processes of fungi and mites. It disrupts enzymes and proteins essential for respiration and energy production, leading to the starvation and death of the pathogen.
• Miticidal Action: On mites, it acts as a contact miticide. It disrupts their cellular respiration and damages their respiratory systems, leading to suffocation.
• Nutritional Benefit: Beyond pest and disease control, it acts as a foliar micronutrient. The plant absorbs the Sulphur, which promotes chlorophyll formation and enhances overall crop vigor.

Mode of application: Foliar Spray or Soil Drenching

Dose: 0.75 - 1.5 kg per 1 acre
