CAPTAN 50-W is a microfine wettable powder for use in water as a spray for the control of certain fungus diseases of fruit and ornamental crops, and as a soil treatment for the control of certain seed rots and damping-off diseases.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
This product is a Group M fungicide. Fungal isolates with acquired resistance to Group M fungicides may eventually dominate the fungal population if Group M fungicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by this product or other Group M fungicides. To delay fungicide resistance consider:
Avoiding consecutive use of this product or other target site of action Group M fungicides that have a similar target site of action on the same pathogens.
Using tank mixtures or pre-mixes with fungicides from different site of action Groups as long as the involved
roducts are all registered for the same use and are both effective at the mix or repack rate on the pathogen(s) of concern.
Basing fungicide use on a comprehensive IPM program.
Monitoring treated fungal populations for loss of field efficacy.
Contacting your local extension specialist certified crop advisors and/or manufacturer for fungicide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and resistant pathogens.
*The multi-site activity grouping designated by the symbol M comprises a collection of various chemicals that act as general toxophores with several sites of action. These sites may differ between group members.

USE PRECAUTIONS
Except as specified, begin applications before or at first sign of disease and repeat as needed to maintain control but observe use limitations. Unless otherwise specified, application can be made on the day of harvest. Maximum application is for a crop cycle. Crop cycle is defined as pre-bloom through post-harvest.
Apply the high rate and/or spray at shorter intervals when climatic conditions most favor disease(s).
Apply the low rate and/or spray at larger intervals when climatic conditions least favor disease(s). If you are unaware of the climatic conditions favorable for disease(s) claimed for the specific use sites, you must consult with your State Agricultural Extension Service to learn of these conditions.
IMPORTANT: Read label carefully. Although most of the directions on this label may be followed nationwide, a few are limited to either the eastern or western U.S. Follow those directions for your growing area where specified.
