Abstract
A single application of 15 pounds of sulfur 98 percent dust per acre gave 94 percent control of powdery mildew on sugar beets. One sulfur application will protect the crop for at least 4 weeks. If 15 pounds sulfur could be applied in commercial operations an estimated 1,625,000 pounds of sulfur could be saved each year.
