GROUP M FUNGICIDE
This product is a Group M* fungicide. Fungal isolates with acquired resistance to Group M fungicide 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 target site of action Groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use and are both effective at the mix or pre-pack 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.
- Directions For Use
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
- Agricultural Use Requirements
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), restricted entry interval (REI) and notification to workers. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the WPS.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI. The REI for each crop is listed in the directions for use associated with each crop.
Eye-Protection: To mitigate eye irritation concerns from post-application exposures, the Agency is requiring that, for at least 7 days following the application of Captan:
- At least one container designed specifically for flushing eyes must be available in operating condition at the WPS-required contamination site for workers entering the area treated with Cap-tan, and
- Workers must be informed orally, in a manner they can under-stand:
- that residues in the treated area may be highly irritating to their eyes,
- that they should take precautions, such as refraining from rub-bing their eyes,
- that if they do get residues in their eyes, they should immedi-ately flush their eyes with eyeflush container that is located at the contamination site and
- how to operate the eye flush container.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the WPS and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: Coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, shoes plus socks and protective eyewear.
Double Notification: Notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at entrances to treated areas.
- Non-Agricultural Use Requirements
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are not within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or greenhouses.
Entry Restrictions: Do not allow people or pets to enter treated areas until sprays have dried. For post-application fruit dips, do not contact or allow others to contact the treated fruit until the treatment solution on the fruit has dried.
Read all precautions and directions for use before using. Use only for claims listed and only as specified on this label.
Do not apply or allow to drift to adjoining food, fiber or pasture crops. Drift of Captan onto sensitive crops (e.g. D’Anjou pears) can cause severe phytotoxicity and crop loss.
- Application Information
Applications can be made by aircraft or ground power equipment (including concentrate and semi-concentrate equipment). Pour label specified amount of this material into nearly filled spray tank. Add balance of water. Maintain agitation during filling and spraying operations. Do not allow mixture to stand. Do not combine with emulsifiable liquids or wettable powders unless previous experience has proven them to be physically compatible and safe to plants.
For aerial or concentrate spray applications, apply the same amount of this product per acre as would normally be applied for diluted spray applications. Apply aerial or concentrate sprays in sufficient water for coverage.
CHEMIGATION ; Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
DANGER: Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Harmful if swallowed or if inhaled. Do not get in eyes or on clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are any waterproof material (refer to category A on an EPA chemical-resistance selection chart). If you want more options, follow the instructions for category A on the EPA chemical-resistance selection chart.
All mixers, loaders, applicators and other handlers (including handlers participating in seeding and transplanting as part of root-dip or greenhouse soil treatments) must wear: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, shoes plus socks, protective eyewear (goggles, safety glasses or face shield), chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material (except applicators driving motorized equipment) such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride and chemical-resistant apron when participating in dip treatments, cleaning up spills, cleaning equipment or otherwise exposed to the concentrate.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product’s concentrate. Do not reuse them.
- Engineering Controls
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
- User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
1) Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
2) Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
3) Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
- Environmental Hazards
This chemical is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water or areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
