Colloidal sulfur has been known for quite a long time, but not all gardeners know in what cases it is useful in the garden.

There are several situations where this remedy is one of the best options.

Powdery mildew

Grapes often suffer from powdery mildew. The fungal disease can greatly reduce the yield.

Therefore, to combat powdery mildew, gardeners use colloidal sulfur, which causes virtually no harm to the environment.

Ticks

Sometimes gardeners face a real disaster: the plant is attacked by both mites and powdery mildew. In such cases, colloidal sulfur helps to literally kill two birds with one stone.
