US approves ADAMA’s Captan Gold 4L fungicide

ADAMA has recently received U.S.EPA approval for Captan Gold 4L liquid fungicide for use on strawberries, tree fruits, and other specialty crops. A multi-site contact fungicide, Captan Gold 4L penetrates fungal spores, protecting high-value crops against tough diseases like anthracnose, botrytis (gray mold), brown rot and scab.

“Captan Gold 4L is the only liquid captan with a ‘Caution’ signal word,” states Sara Zinck, ADAMA national marketing leader.” Backed by more than 50 years of captan manufacturing experience, Captan Gold 4L delivers excellent efficacy through its multi-site mode of action, making it a trusted partner in fungicide resistance management.”

For use on California strawberries, Captan Gold 4L is labeled for applications at 2 to 3 quarts per acre. Early applications at pre-bloom and bloom offer the best fruit protection from botrytis. Follow up applications can be applied at 7 to 14 day intervals up to harvest. Application rates are not to exceed 24 quarts per acre per crop cycle.
