Description
Mode of Action
Fungicidal Action: Sulphur works as a fungicide by interfering with fungal pathogens’ cellular metabolism and growth. It disrupts the function of enzymes involved in key metabolic processes, such as respiration and energy production, leading to the inhibition of fungal growth. Sulphur also disrupts the formation of essential proteins and enzymes in fungi, further compromising their development and reproduction.
Miticidal Action: Sulphur acts as a miticide by affecting the cellular respiration and metabolism of mites. It damages the mites’ respiratory system, interfering with their ability to obtain oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This disruption of their respiratory function leads to suffocation and the death of the mites.
