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.

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 requir~d 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 
rema~ning 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.
