Dusters

MB sulphur dusters: functional and easy-to-use.

The way MB DUSTERS work is simple, functional and always up-to-date because it allows continuous and even distribution:

• the agitator optimises the output of the powder by breaking up any lumps and makes it fall by pushing it down;
• the fan creates a swirl of air that sucks the powder up and distributes it to the nozzles.

In this way the powder comes out in a continuous, uniform stream.

MB sulphur dusters: long term durability with minimum maintenance

MB sulphur dusters last for several decades due to the quality of the materials used in production (aluminium, steel, polyethylene, iron, and alloys) and the specific professional manufacturing skills acquired over the years.

We have always believed in the use of sulphur powder in agriculture, used on its own or with other powders, to prevent fungal diseases such as oidium (powdery mildew) and to save the crops from moulds such as Botrytis (grey mould) in particularly damp or rainy seasons.

We believe in an agriculture that preserves the vitality of the soil and does not impoverish it, in tradition that alongside innovation protects the health of farmers and consumers.

The advantages of using sulphur in agriculture

Sulphur powder is the best product for anti-fungal treatments in agriculture; it is inexpensive and brings many advantages to the agricultural ecosystem:

• It prevents the serious disease of the powdery mildew and stops it spreading. In a copper mixture, it prevents and limits rot and when combined with bentonite or zeolite, it becomes an effective anti-Botrytis treatment.

Numerous testimonies to this effect were reported by MB customers during the EIMA INTERNATIONAL trade fair in Bologna.

• It protects plants (hazel, vines, pear trees, etc.) from gall mites and acts as a mite repellent.
• It does not penetrate the tissue and lymph of the plant and, therefore, does not cause resistance.

It is a soil improver because it is the fourth nutritional element of plants after nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

• “Relativamente alle strategie di impiego dello zolfo, sono da preferire applicazioni con zolfo polverulento nel periodo antecedente la fioritura ed in fase di prechiusura grappolo” tratto da approfondimento scientifico
• Curiosità storica: “Gli utilizzi dello zolfo sono illustrati nel III libro e si riferiscono soprattutto all’uso in agricoltura, in medicina. L’uso di antinfestante in agricoltura è il primo e più importante utilizzo dello zolfo in polvere: l’uso per la viticoltura è tra quelli più diffusi”
• Eriofide nella vite: “il trattamento con zolfo è lo stesso che si effettua per combattere l’oidio”
• Acariosi della vite: “Gli Eriofidi risultano sensibili a diversi prodotti fungicidi antiperonosporici (ditiocarbammati) e antioidici (zolfo)”

The impolveratore or impolveratrice in Italian is also called solforatore or solforatrice from the word “sulphur”, the key element in powder distribution. Also rarely known as zolforatore.

In the north east of Italy it is called solferina, poudreuse in French, espolvoreador in Spanish, agricultural duster in English, and Stäubegerät in German.
