Sulphur dust powder is popular with many gardeners as an economical alternative to expensive pre-packaged vegetable and tomato dusts as a pesticide and fungicide. It is also popular as a way to lower soil PH. Sulphur dust is normally applied in the same way as other vegetable dusts are, but it can also be mixed with water but this is not ideal since this form of sulphur is not very water soluble.

Sulphur is renown as an excellent fungicide but also has some insecticidal properties. Other popular uses for sulphur include mite control for chooks, internal parasites in certain animals and for skin ailments in dogs.

Sulphur for lowering Soil PH:

Prior to application determine the pH of your soil. Use a pH test kit or probe to determine the pH level to be achieved. To lower the pH of the top 10cm of soil by one unit. e.g. pH 7.5 to pH 6.5 use the following number of grams per square metre:
- Sandy Soil - 25 - 50 grams
- Loam Soil - 50 - 80 grams
- Clay Soil - 80 - 120 grams

Important: Work into the top soil and water in well. Avoid contact between plant foliage and Sulphur. If contact occurs wash off thoroughly with water.

Applying to a volume of soil: To reduce the pH by one unit add approximately 400 grams per cubic metre (1000 litres) of soil or potting mix

To correct a Sulphur element deficiency: Apply 25 grams to each square metre of soil, work into top soil and water in well.

Note: 1 heaped tablespoon holds approximately 20 grams of sulphur

According to this dog breeders website, sulphur powder when mixed in a certain way with oil can treat various skin problems in dogs like, mange, flea bites, non-specific dermatitis, itchy skin, ant bites, and infected wounds. See link above for more information.

Frequently asked Questions:

Q. In what country is this Sulphur powder made?

A. On the label of the current stock we have it says made in Turkey (01/03/21)

Q. Is this the same product as "Flowers of Sulphur"?

A. I've looked extensively online and from my research, it seems that Flower of Sulphur and Sulphur Powder are essentially the same thing. People in the UK and US sometimes use the term flowers of sulphur but in Australia it's simply called Sulphur powder.

Q. What type of Sulphur is this?

A. As far we know it's Elemental Sulphur. We've seen that written on the bags in the past but not currently. Our supplier didn't know what type of sulphur it was. They just call it Sulphur Powder 99.9%
