Tools Needed:
To use Captan 50%, you will need a handheld pump or backpack sprayer for small-scale use. A spray rig can be used on a large scale.
How to Use:
- Step 1: Determine how much Captan 50 you need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the treatment areas' length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Captan 50 is used at a rate of 1.5 tbs. to 4 tbs. per gallon of water, depending on the treated crop. For example, to treat Carnations for leaf spots, you must use 1.5 tbs. per gallon of water.
- Step 2: Fill your sprayer halfway with water. While wearing a protective mask, measure the appropriate amount of product and add it to your sprayer. Fill the remaining amount with water and thoroughly agitate your sprayer, and you're ready to apply.
- Step 3: Evenly spray the product over the desired areas. Do not over-apply, as this could harm the plants.
Where to Use:
Captan can be applied to croplands for various types of fruit, such as apples, peaches, grapes, and more. This product can also be used on commercially grown flowers, such as carnations and roses.
When to Use:
Use this product when your plants are showing signs of disease or fungi. This product will eliminate both and prevent future growth of the disease for fungi.
Safety Information:
Captan 50 is safe to use around people and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying this product.
Do not allow people or pets to enter treated areas until 4 days after application.
Special Considerations:
Captan 50 is a powder that needs time and agitation to dissolve properly. It also needs to be regularly agitated so that it does not form clumps, cause improper dilution rates, or clog the intake of your sprayer.
