General Information:

Sulfex Gold is a broad-spectrum fungicide that contains the active ingredient sulfur. It is effective against a wide range of fungal diseases in a variety of crops, including rice, wheat, groundnut, and vegetables. Sulfex Gold is a contact fungicide that disrupts the cell wall formation and respiration of fungi. It also acts as a sulfur fertilizer, which is essential for plant growth and development.

Active Ingredient:

  • Sulfur 80% WG

Mode of Action:

Sulfex Gold has two modes of action:

  • Contact fungicide: Sulfex Gold disrupts the cell wall formation and respiration of fungi. Cell wall formation is essential for fungal survival. By disrupting cell wall formation, Sulfex Gold kills the fungi.
  • Sulfur fertilizer: Sulfur is an essential nutrient for plant growth and development. It is a component of amino acids, proteins, and enzymes. Sulfur also helps to increase plant resistance to pests and diseases.

Application:

Sulfex Gold can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench. The recommended dose and application method will vary depending on the crop and the fungal disease to be controlled.

  • Sulfex Gold is a selective fungicide, but it can injure some crops if applied incorrectly. It is important to read and follow the label directions carefully.
  • Sulfex Gold is not rain fast. Therefore, it should not be applied if rain is expected within 4 hours of application.
  • Sulfex Gold is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Therefore, it should not be applied near water bodies.

Additional Information:

Sulfex Gold is a popular fungicide among farmers in India because it is effective against a wide range of fungal diseases, including some difficult-to-control diseases such as powdery mildew in rice and rust in groundnut. It is also relatively safe for crops if used correctly.

However, it is important to note that Sulfex Gold is a contact fungicide, which means that it does not penetrate the plant tissues. Therefore, it is important to spray the entire plant, including the underside of the leaves, to ensure effective control of fungal diseases.

Sulfex Gold can also be used as a sulfur fertilizer to improve plant growth and development. When used as a fertilizer, Sulfex Gold should be applied to the soil at a dose of 10-20 kg per hectare.
