Hello all, If I remember correctly, the work that I saw showing reduced pollen germination due to captan was done in vitro (in test tube). Having said that, Mancozeb performed much better than Captan in such tests, and if I need to spray for scab during peak flowering, I often opt to use Mancozeb. However, on continental Europe use of Captan during flowering is commonplace. Con Traas The Apple Farm Cahir Ireland
