The Natural Defender: Searles Wettable Sulphur for Mites & Mildew
Maintaining a healthy, productive garden often comes down to managing pests and diseases without harming your plants or the environment. Searles Wettable Sulphur 250g is a professional-grade fungicide and miticide that gives you powerful control over common garden invaders—naturally and effectively.
What is Wettable Sulphur?
Wettable sulphur is a finely milled, powdered form of elemental sulphur that can be mixed with water and sprayed onto plants. It works by disrupting vital processes in fungal spores, effectively killing them before they can spread. Additionally, sulphur acts as a natural suppressant for many types of mites, including two-spotted mites, citrus rust mites, and grapeleaf blister mites.
Key Benefits of Searles Wettable Sulphur
Broad-spectrum protection: Controls both fungal diseases like powdery mildew, rust, and black spot, and a range of nine common mites.
Versatile use: Ideal for pome and stone fruits, citrus, grape vines, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
Economical: One 250g pack makes up to 125 litres of spray—ample coverage for home gardens or small-scale growers.
Environmentally responsible: Sulphur is a naturally occurring mineral and a safer option for those wanting to reduce synthetic chemical use.
How to Use
Mix the product according to label directions and spray evenly over affected areas. For best results, apply during cooler parts of the day and avoid extremely hot or humid conditions. Adding a spreading agent like Spredmax® enhances coverage and effectiveness.
Note: Always read the full label and follow safety guidelines when applying.
