Sulfur dioxide is a useful element when gassing greenhouses or polytunnels. Such a treatment should be carried out immediately after the end of the growing season of plants, but before the liquidation of the crop itself. It is worth gassing the greenhouse at least once every 12 months.
3. Kindling. The mixtures arranged in this way should be ignited, starting with the plate farthest from the entrance to the greenhouse.
The ideal proportion is 15g/cubic meter of room. For larger rooms, the following proportion can be used:
- 2 kg of sulfur
- 0.4 kg of potassium permanganate/100 g of potassium nitrate
It is worth remembering that sulfur alone is not enough in the gassing process - additives are necessary to accelerate its combustion.
Under what conditions is it best to perform gassing? The temperature must be above 10 degrees Celsius (around 20 degrees is ideal). In addition, ensure that doors, windows and ventilators are tightly closed - to prevent sulfur dioxide from escaping into other rooms. The gas is very harmful - its fumes are extremely poisonous, both for people and plants.
The main advantage of such action is the ease of carrying out such a process. To do it, just select a few dishes (note - they must be non-flammable), pour denatured alcohol on them and light them. Sulfur allows you to effectively remove pests.
