Are you considering using sulphur to protect your crops? Choose sulphur for dusting.

• Sulphur is undoubtedly the best solution for ensuring optimal and natural protection of your crops against threats arising from the presence and proliferation of mites and fungi in your fields.
• Among the different sulphur-based plant health options, we recommend choosing the additional benefits offered by our solutions developed from sulphur for dusting.
• Discover the advantages each of them offers and choose the one that best suits your protection needs and expectations.

When selecting the best solution for the optimal protection and development of your crops, there is widespread consensus regarding the distinctive advantages and benefits offered by sulphur for dusting compared with other synthetic plant protection alternatives.

Choosing sulphur for dusting to ensure the health of your crops in the short, medium and long term is not only a decision worth considering because of its entirely natural composition, which makes it suitable for both conventional agricultural fields and those with the corresponding European certification for organic or biodynamic crops.

It also provides better results in terms of its comprehensive protection potential, as it covers virtually the entire plant and its fruit more completely and uniformly, allowing for greater efficacy and persistence compared with solutions applied after being dissolved in water.

These factors, together with the fact that sulphur for dusting does not cause resistance in terms of its protective potential against numerous agricultural threats, are also crucial from a sustainability perspective. It considerably reduces the need for water resources during application, while also generating significant savings in time and other inputs, such as the fuel used by application equipment, thanks to the reduced number and frequency of dusting treatments required to achieve the desired results.

However, taking the above considerations into account, it is important to bear in mind that different sulphur-for-dusting solutions are available in a wide variety of formulations, depending on the protection requirements of each crop. This is precisely where AFEPASA offers one of the broadest ranges of effective alternatives available on the market.

Thanks to AFEPASA’s R&D&I efforts in this field, its different commercial sulphur-for-dusting solutions significantly enhance the benefits associated with this type of product, both in terms of improved application and foliar coverage and product persistence and stability once dusted onto the crops.

In practical terms, the particle size of AFEPASA’s sulphur-for-dusting products helps prevent the formation of aggregates and reduces the problems associated with the tendency of other formulations to compact during storage and application. This allows for greater flowability and faster dusting while limiting the possibility of compaction in the hopper negatively affecting uniform application.

For all these reasons, AFEPASA recommends that, if you are considering using sulphur to protect your crops, you should always opt for the most effective and efficient solution possible: AFEPASA’s sulphur-for-dusting products.

In this regard, AFEPASA’s special and exclusive formulation of sublimed sulphur is ideal for providing comprehensive protection against mites and eriophyid mites, and particularly for combating the spread of powdery mildew.

Its distinctive composition allows it to maintain effective protection in environments characterised by lower temperatures, while also contributing to greater adhesion to the plant surface.

Likewise, within AFEPASA’s extensive portfolio of micronised sulphur products, we recommend trying our P300/100 Micronised Sulphur, ideal as a comprehensive fungicidal and acaricidal treatment applied by dusting.

You can also choose specific varieties that best meet your additional requirements, as we offer specialised versions designed to provide:

• Drying action, enabling effective regulation of surface moisture on the plant.
• Solar filter effect against ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation, reducing the risk of phytotoxicity.
• Insect effect, creating a hostile environment for mites and causing lesions to the different larval stages of these pests.

We also recommend exploring in greater detail what our other micronised sulphur-based solutions can offer, such as Solfoxidante, which provides specialised protection against powdery mildew and other fungal diseases thanks to its oxidising action, and Cuprazufre, which also helps correct copper and sulphur deficiencies in plants.

We are confident that you will be pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the option you ultimately choose to protect and develop your crops, as all of these solutions have been developed with your actual needs in mind to ensure the best possible results in your fields.
