DIRECTIONS FOR USE
SHARDA CAPTAN 80 WDG fungicide is a dispersable granular fungicide for use in water as a spray for the control of certain fungus diseases of fruit, vegetables and ornamental crops, and as a soil treatment for the control of certain seed rots and damping-off diseases. Spray injury may result if captan is used with, immediately before or closely following an oil spray. DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, SHARDA CAPTAN 80 WDG Fungicide contains a Group M fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to SHARDA CAPTAN 80 WDG Fungicide and other Group M fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay fungicide resistance:
Where possible, rotate the use of SHARDA CAPTAN 80 WDG Fungicide or other Group M fungicides with different groups that control the same pathogens.
Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group that is effective on the target pathogen when such use is permitted.
Fungicide use should be based on an integrated disease management program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications.
Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. Notify Sharda Cropchem Limited if reduced sensitivity of the pathogen to SHARDA CAPTAN 80 WDG is suspected.
If disease continues to progress after treatment with this product, do not increase the use rate. Discontinue use of this product, and switch to another fungicide with a different site of action, if available.
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. For further information and to report suspected resistance, contact Sharda Cropchem Limited at 1-888-760-0187.

COMPATIBILITY
SHARDA CAPTAN 80 WDG Fungicide can be used at recommended dosages in accordance with spray schedules or recommendations by Provincial or Experiment station personnel. Do not combine with oil and strongly alkaline materials such as hydrated lime, which reduces the fungicidal activity. Do not use this product in combination with, immediately before or closely following an oil spray, or with solvent formulations of parathion products.

MIXING
Fill the spray tank with clean water to one-fourth or one-third of final desired volume. Start agitation (proper agitation creates a rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface). Slowly add SHARDA CAPTAN 80 WDG fungicide at the recommended rate. Add water to desired final volume. Mix thoroughly and apply at once. Maintain sufficient agitation during mixing and spraying operations to ensure a uniform spray mixture.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Unless otherwise specified, rates are given in terms of SHARDA CAPTAN 80 WDG fungicide per 1000 liters of water. If expressed in kilograms per hectare, sufficient water to provide thorough coverage should be used. Except as specified, begin applications before or at first sign of disease and repeat as necessary to maintain control but observe limitations. Consult authorities for specific information as the timing, number and rate of applications needed will vary with local conditions.
