CAPTAN (Pesticide)

CAPTAN is a chemical pesticide used to protect crops, especially fruits like strawberries and grapes, from mold, fungi, and bacteria. It works by disrupting the growth process of harmful microorganisms, helping plants stay healthy and reducing crop losses. CAPTAN is typically applied as a spray and is absorbed into the plant tissues, providing ongoing protection. While effective, it’s important to use CAPTAN responsibly and follow safety guidelines, as it can be toxic to humans and the environment if misused. Regulations limit residue levels on food to ensure safety for consumers.
