Water solubility at 25 C. - disperses in water.

Oil solubility -

Octanol:Water ratio at 25 C. - at pH 5.

Vapour Pressure at 25 C. - Low

Dissociation constant - pKa.

Melting point - C.

Boiling point -

Molecular weight - 32

Density - 0.8-1 kg/L

pH 6.5-7.5 at 10g/L

28. ENVIRONMENTAL FATE:

Summary - Low toxicity to most other species. Sulphur is a naturally occurring element and plant nutrient.

It has a long half life in soil.

It has an EPA classification for soil mobility that ranges from

Ground water contamination

Accumulation in milk and tissues.

Being an inorganic substance it is not broken down and is slowly removed by biological organisms mainly in produce.

Avoid contaminating sewerage systems because the rate of elimination is slow.

29. COMPATIBILITY:

See HerbiGuide for compatability with other herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.

See HerbiGuide for a full list of pesticide compatibilities.
