Also, I'm assuming that when I get the Captan, it'll have
directions for frequency of use (timing), etc?

The use of any fungicide or pesticide on fruit trees is highly dependent
upon your local weather conditions. In general tree sprays are applied when
the tree goes through certain phases (i.e. dormant, buds showing, pink buds,
leaf opening, first signs of fruit, etc). You also don't want to just be
spraying "just-in-case". Look up some IPM techniques for your fruit and your
area to use the least amount of material possible.

Captan is available in almost any garden center including the Walmarts of
the world. It's pretty expensive. You really don't want to spend more on
sprays than the fruit itself is worth.
