Where does lime sulfur fit or does it fit?v Bottom line – we do not know for sure.v Lime sulfur will need to be applied in the dormant orlate dormant stage in GA (probably a December –late January application, depending on blueberryvariety and species); high temperatures (above 75 F)will increase burn to buds, leaves, blooms, etc.v It is a clean up material, and it is generally thoughtto reduce inoculum – killing overwintering fungi.v Limited data is available, and it would be prematureto recommend the use. However, if used, it maypossibly help to prevent some dieback diseases (notmummy berry as some labels indicate).
