CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Time of application
Apples
For control of apple scab, CAPTAN 80 WDG is most effective when used preventatively as part of a programme of routine sprays beginning at the start of flowering. Commence spraying at bud burst and repeat at 10 to 14 day intervals until early July if scab conditions prevail.

Treatments should be made at 10 day intervals when trees are making rapid growth particularly during rainy conditions.
For reduction of Gloeosporium storage rots, spray in mid to late July and repeat at 2-3 week intervals for as long as orchard conditions permit or until 31 days before picking. Harvest before mid-October. When CAPTAN 80 WDG has been used for post-blossom scab control and heavy infection is not expected, spray in mid-August and repeat 3 weeks later.
Caution: Do not spray Bramley’s Seedling, Monarch, King Edward (Edward VII), Kidds Late Orange, Red Delicious or Winston Apple as these may be sensitive.

RATE OF USE
Apples
Apply at a rate of 2.0 kg/ha in 500 - 1,000 L water/ha.
A maximum of 10 applications per year may be made. Latest timing is 31 days before harvest.
Apply the recommended dose of 2.0 kg/ha to full height trees typical of UK orchards at full canopy density. Where tree height and/or canopy density is reduced, the dose (and water volume) should be adjusted in accordance with an appropriate dose adjustment scheme.

FOLLOWING CROPS
There are no following crops restrictions.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Before spraying it is important to check all hoses, filters and nozzles, and to ensure that the sprayer is clean and correctly set to give an even application at the correct volume.
Half-fill the sprayer tank with water. Commence agitating the water. Add the required amount of CAPTAN 80 WDG to the water and add the remainder of the water, continuing to agitate the mixture during filling and use. Do not leave mixed spray standing overnight.
Thoroughly clean the sprayer and measuring equipment after using CAPTAN 80 WDG.
