Captan 480 SC fungicide label expanded to manage pepper anthracnose

Jun 13, 2025

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has approved an Emergency Use Registration request effective June 2, 2025, until June 1, 2026, for control of anthracnose on field peppers in Ontario only. Captan 480 SC fungicide was already labeled for disease control on a wide range of crops in Canada. This Emergency Use Registration request was submitted by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Agribusiness as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel and the urgent need for a management product for this disease. A temporary MRL of up to 1.5 ppm for captan, has been established on field peppers in Canada. Any growers exporting fruit pods out of country should ensure a tolerance is established in the destination country before considering applications in their production systems. Emergency Use Registration requests have been submitted for use of captan on field peppers since 2022, however the formulation requested for the 2025 season has changed from the Water-Soluble Pouch to the Suspension Concentrate.

The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making disease management decisions within a robust integrated disease management program and should consult the complete label before using Captan 480 SC fungicide.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
