I don't know if this was mentioned but does anyone know if adding a wetting agent to the sulfur/water solution would help with distribution?
Yes it does. Use only wettable sulfur (I would recommend microthiol disperss) and add a spreader sticker according to the instructions on the label.

I also read a publication recently about using salicylic acid root drenches vs oxytetracycline and the sal acid was impressively effective (RE HLB).

Happy New Year, guys. I would like to congratulate everyone, wish a happy new year, thank the forum and all its participants for interesting discussions, the knowledge that I acquired here, and also thank everyone who shared seeds, cuttings and experience with me.
I have some scale and sooty mold on my Glen mango. Is neem oil suitable to kill the scale, or is there something more effective?
Neem oil will work but it will take many applications which will need to be re applied if it rains. The neem oil can also burn your plants if it’s hot and sunny. Try to rid your tree of ants. You can use tanglefoot to prevent ants from going up your tree and farming the scale.
Once you get rid of the scale. You can use something like Azera combined with a spreader/extender so that the organic insecticide will last longer in rainy conditions. You can also use horticultural oil to suffocate the scale.
