Vitax Yellow sulfur, also known as elemental sulphur, is used in gardening as a fungicide to control powdery mildew and other fungal diseases on plants. It works by lowering the pH level of the surface of the leaves, making it more difficult for the fungus to grow. It can be applied as a dust or a spray to the affected plants. It is important to follow the label instructions when using yellow sulfur in gardening as it can be toxic to plants if used in excess.

Yellow sulfur, also known as elemental sulfur, can be used in gardening for the following purposes:

  1. Fungicide: Yellow sulfur can be used to control powdery mildew and other fungal diseases on plants by lowering the pH level of the surface of the leaves.
  2. Soil acidifier: Yellow sulfur can be used to lower the pH level of soil to make it more acidic, which can be beneficial for plants that prefer acidic soils, such as blueberries and azaleas.
  3. Pest repellent: Yellow sulfur can be used as a repellent for certain pests such as thrips, mites, and aphids.
  4. Control of Lichen: Yellow sulfur can be used to inhibit lichen growth, but it is not the most effective method.
