Hey guys,

I have a spider mite Problem for some time and started using Athena ipm. After a few weeks I decided to use a sulfer burner. Soon after ( 4 days later ) I sprayed Athena IPM and noticed burns on my plants? Was Athena the culprit?

What causes this burn.
When applying a sulfur product its best to wait 10-14 days before applying a petroleum based product, i.e. IPM. It becomes phytotoxic resulting in soft tissue chlorosis, leaves and/ or meristem begin to "burn". Likewise with applying most oils or sulfur based products with the lights on, or in the hot summer heat at, mid day.

Try applying a "tea" of your choosing 7 days post sulfur application. This will help dilute any residuals and feed the microbiome on the tissue surface as well. Do not apply a foliar feed with synthetic nutrients, you'll have the same effect.
