General Information N'RON + Capt an FS Fungicide Seed Protectant is a liquid fungi­ cl~e for on-farm soybean seed treatment use in a planter box. APRON + Capt an FS contains the active ingredients meta1axyl and captan. Meta1axy1 is a systemic fungicide which controls pythium damping-off and early season Phytophthora root rot. Capt an protects the seed against seed and soil borne diseases such as seedling blights, damping-off and seed decay organisms which attack the germinating seed at planting. APRON + Captan FS also contains molybdenum which aids in the nitrogen fixation process taking place in the root nodules. It is especially effective in low pH soils and soils with low phos­ phate levels. 'J

-4- Soybeans For control of pythium damping-off, early season Phytophthora root rot and other seedling blights and decay organisms, apply 5 fl. ozs. of APRON + Capt an FS per bushel of soybean seed. Application Instructions: Empty half a bushel of seed into the planter box and pour one-half of the requird amount of APRON + Captan FS (2.5 fl. oz.) evenly over the surface of the seed. Mix thoroughly by stirring with a paddle, stick, or auger until all the liquid is evenly distributed to the seed. Add the remaning seed and cover with the remaining 2.5 fl. ozs. of APRON + Capt an FS. Stir until the seed is uniformly coated. Notes: (1) Treated seed must not be used or mixed with food or animal feed, or processed for oil. (2) Treat only seed needed for immediate use, minimizing the interval between treatment and planting. (3) Do not store excess treated seed beyond planting time.
