Sulfur for spider mites?
Has anyone tried dusting their tomato plants with sulfur to help control spider mites? I have a friend who is an environmental chemist and he told me the other day that they use it to control red spider mites on water hyacinths in water treatment plants. He also told me that they are not allowed to use poisons and that the sulfur is very effective.
I'm having a problem with spider mites on some of my plants and thought I would give it a try; but don't know if there are any negative effects from using it. |
