It is very effective against most diseases, and diseases do not develop resistance. Unlike limesulfur mixture, JS is made without heating, does not damage plastic and steel pipes of greenhouses. Effective against black spot, pear rust, powdery mildew, downy mildew, etc. Making 1 L (0.26 gal) of JS (25% sulfur) only costs 50 cents. 100 L (26 gal) of JS can be used 60-100 times (diluted in water to make pesticide of 500 L or 132 gal). JS can be used with commercial organic or chemical pesticides; but always do a mixture test and concentration test before use. Developed by Youngsang Cho.1
