Good Morning Diann !!!
The " Ringers " company sells a fungicidal spray. The only active
ingredient is Sulfur. I do not have the label in front of me so you may
want to check it out. As I recall, the sulfur content is 1% . Since one
ounce volume is roughly one ounce by weight , you could dissolve 2 table
spoons of sulfur in 3 quarts of water . It would be a little stronger than
the Ringers formula, but a heck of a lot milder than the straight dust.
Remember!!! "Directions for use: It is a violation of federal law to use
this product inconsistent with the label" I think that is the statement on
the back of every pesticide (???). Brian
