Captan 50 wettable powder
Hi, today I purchased a 5-pound bag of Captan 50 wettable powder.
This is recommended in the AOS pest and disease book. This will be more than a lifetime supply for me, but this is the only size that the vendor had. The problem is that the bag does not come with dilution instructions. I searched the Internet, and all I can find is data sheets for crops. Does anybody have an idea of how much powder to put in a 1 gallon jug of water for phals? Any help will be appreciated. DD |

DD .....Somewhere in one of these responses somebody was looking for
more captan - saying they couldn't get it anymore. Hence the help in the over supply I'm sure. I just have a couple of phals. but any insight on how this helps would be helpful.......Burr |

For ornamentals of various sorts, the dilution rates are 5 tsps or 9 tsps per gallon. The lower rate for stuff like leaf spotting and botrytis, the higher rate for root and other more serious rots.

Captan 50 wettable powder
The rate is 2 pounds per 100 gallons water
Or 16 ounce per 50 gallons water Or 1 ounce per 3.125 gallons water Find a scale that can weigh out 1 ounce of powder. Then count the number of tea spoons in the ounce. One third of the number tea spoons is what you need for a gallon. "dd" wrote in message ... Hi, today I purchased a 5-pound bag of Captan 50 wettable powder.

brown rot and bacterial soft rot If you mean crown rot, I don't think you can count on Captan to cure it, it moves very quickly and Captan isn't systemic. But for anything more than a fairly superficial infection, I would go with the higher dilution rate if you want to try the Captan. MG |

I always liked Captan for the prevention of problems. When in the late
afternoon, I saw water droplets on a particular plant, I would get out the duster and spray it a tiny bit with Captan to prevent crown rot, etc. But, don't look for Captan if you live in California and some other states as it has been removed from the market and requires a permit (The same person, who had me calling a farm supply store said she used it under her horse's saddle, and another person said it was being used on strawberries and that it was a cancer causing agent). I was told at our local nursery just "don't over-water and anything that works is taken off the market). So, now I have Bonomyl on order; however, I don't know much about it. .. . .

I'm in Massachusetts, and I've got a bag of Captan sitting in my
basement. From all the warning labels, it sounds as if it could be dangerous stuff if used improperly. Supposedly, if the powder gets in your eyes, it causes permanent damage. I've used Bonomyl outdoors, and it has not worked very well for curing clematis wilt. These days, I'm cutting down on outdoor pesticides, fungicides, etc., because I'm afraid of poisoning Boots, a neighbor's free-roaming cat, or the birds that frequent my feeders.
