Hivet - Sulphur 80% WDG - HPM
Item description
HPM Hivet Sulphur 80% WDG Fungicide Overview
HPM Hivet is a micronised Sulphur 80% WDG fungicide designed for preventive crop-disease management. It is a non-systemic contact and protectant product with contact and vapour action.
The manufacturer lists Hivet for powdery mildew in grapes, cowpea, guar, pea, cumin, mango and wheat, and for scab in apple. Use it only on a crop and disease named on the current product label and follow every pack direction.
Why Choose HPM Hivet?
- Multi-site contact activity: Sulphur acts at multiple fungal sites and is classified by FRAC in Group M02.
- Protectant performance: Contact and vapour activity supports coverage of treated plant surfaces when the spray is applied uniformly.
- WDG formulation: Water-dispersible granules are intended to disperse in the spray tank and reduce the dust associated with traditional sulphur dusts.
- Crop-specific directions: The HPM page provides crop, disease, dose, water-volume and waiting-period information.
- Secondary acaricidal activity: HPM also describes secondary acaricidal activity; use against mites only where the current label specifically permits it.

How It Works
Hivet remains on treated plant surfaces rather than moving systemically through the crop. Its sulphur particles act by contact and through vapour activity. Because it is a protectant, timely application and complete, even coverage are important. FRAC places sulphur in the M02 multi-site group; follow the label and local resistance-management advice when planning a spray programme.
