Description
Yates 500mL Lime Sulfur is an excellent solution for winter clean-up, particularly for fruit trees and roses, as it targets hard-to-kill pests and diseases, including mites, leaf curl, scale, powdery mildew and rust.
It works by contact action, so it is important to ensure thorough coverage of the insects and diseases, even those hiding beneath foliage.
For added safety, it features a child-resistant cap and a user-friendly measure bottle.
It has no withholding period, although it is recommended to wash any edibles before consumption.
Yates 500mL Lime Sulfur effectively controls a variety of fungal diseases and pests on fruit trees, tomatoes, grapes, roses, and other ornamentals.
