Captan FL
The Dependable Seed Protectant

An effective and easy-to-use flowable seed treatment for seed crops including on corn, sweet corn, beans, peas and sugar beets

Over the years, CAPTAN FL Seed Protectant has proven to be the foremost non-systemic contact fungicide for disease control in seed crops including on corn, sweet corn, beans, peas and sugar beets. CAPTAN FL controls a broad range of diseases, including storage rot, damping off, seedling rots and seedling blights. This disease control translates into higher yields and improved quality of your valuable crops. Additionally, the multi-site activity of CAPTAN FL offers the added bonus of having no known cases of resistance - meaning you can expect consistent results every time.
