Years ago I bought a bag of Bonide sulfur plant fungicide, concentrate ~~ & it has been sitting on a shelf in the garage ever since (grin) Any ideas on what I might have thought I needed it for??

I've heard of dusting tubers like Black and Blue salvia or Dahlia with sulphur prestorage to reduce formation of molds and rot.

As you already mentioned - you probably bought it for some fungal problem. Sulfur is one of the oldest treatments for all sorts of fungal issues - powdery mildew, black spot etc.

I've used it for treating nicks and cuts in various tubers and bulbs just to prevent any fungal issues from arising.
