Characteristics – Features

It is a non-systemic fungicide and acaricide in the form of a suspension concentrate.
The mechanism of the toxic effect of sulfur compounds (Action of Mode Sulphur) There are several theories that explain the mechanism of the toxic effect of sulfur, which are:
Direct Action Theory: This theory states that sulfur vapor can enter through the respiratory openings of the hair and cause its lethal effect in the hair.
Oxidation Theory: This theory is based on the oxidation of sulfur to sulfur dioxide or sulfur trioxide. In the presence of moisture, pentathionic acid is formed.Penta thionic acid
Reduction Theory: This theory summarizes that sulfur is reduced to hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is considered a toxic substance for acarids.
The conversion of sulfur to sulfuric acid: It is converted into sulfuric acid inside the cell, causing the precipitation of cell proteins and their death.
However, the mode of action of the compound, which contains sulfur in nanoform, differs from regular sulfur due to the precision of its particles. It is approximately 50,000 times smaller than micron-sized sulfur, with one micrometer equivalent to one thousand nanometers. Consequently, a compound is characterized by the precision of its particles. It is also known that the smaller the particle size, the higher the toxicity, leading to an increased speed of its effect on various mites.
The compound is considered to have a multi-site effect, making it difficult for mites and fungi to develop resistance, unlike other pesticides.
The compound is used both preventively and therapeutically.
