How It Works: Mode of Action
Captan is a multi-site contact fungicide. Its action depends on treatment reaching the intended surfaces.
- Reach the target surface: Follow the current Captax-50 label’s equipment and coverage instructions.
- Affect multiple fungal processes: Captan’s multi-site activity interferes with normal fungal function.
- Support disease protection: Use the labelled disease timing; do not assume it will reverse existing crop damage.
Use resistance-management advice appropriate to the crop and disease. A multi-site classification is not a guarantee against resistance or treatment failure.

*Formulation-level reference only, not a complete Captax-50 programme. Do not read an unspecified harvest interval as zero days or calculate a universal tank dose from these ranges.

How to Apply: Best Practices

- Prepare the labelled mixture: Measure product and water as directed and check any proposed tank mixture against the label.
- Respect harvest and exposure precautions: Confirm the waiting period, wear the specified protection and prevent drift, spills and washings reaching water.
