sulfur spray effectiveness after sieving

I spray sulfur once in a while to ward of a year infestation of russet mites, it has been tough by rotating spraying 3 different products they seem under control but never defeated...if I should relax for a two weeks or more I see the leaves curling again..
so I spray sulfur too, but the sulfur particles tend to block my spray mist bottle because of the fine powder which all doesnt get dissolved in the water..
so I decided to seive of the residue after mixing the sulfur..
does it reduce the sulfur potency??? or it has the same effect? thanks

If you are sieving sulfur yes it will be the same effective but....

I don't understand how some wettable sulfur could clog a sprayer given the fact that is meant for that specific use...

You are mentioning "spray bottle" right? is like one of those ultra cheap Chinese spray bottle? Those sucks...are worthless and break easy.
If that, I would get a pressurized spray gallon jug , also because its crucial to be able to spray under leaves and get the nozzle up and down left and right inside the canopy to make sure to cover EVERYTHING.

I found sulfur not 100% effective against BM because can clog the stomata and produce various reaction on plant tissue if the spray is done improperly or if the genetic doesn't like it....plus spray to 100% coverage in some case it's just pure fantasy...

I heard peeps having success with it but to me seems a risky road like sprayn oils on plants...many things can go wrong....

Serve those motherfuckers a real breakfast with abamectin and be done with em for good!

A lot of peeps demonized too much that poison....I respect if you don't want use it but....in veg a properly done spray won't hurt nothing and will save your crop:dance013:

Good luck and kill em all!!!:shooty:

thank you soo much for your input...I already spray abamectin, believe it or not, is it not killing all of them...it seems I have abamectin resistant russet mites, so I rotate between abamectin, sulfur and colam(colam contains two different products)..sulfur seems to be very good...
