Harmful if absorbed through skin. Harmful if inhaled. Do not getin eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing mist or spray vapor. Whenhandling, wear protective eyewear, clothing, and chemical-resistant gloves asdescribed under the section of this label pertaining to Personal ProtectiveEquipment (PPE). Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water after handlingand before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. Remove andwash contaminated clothing before reuse.For applications in waters destined for use as drinking water, those waters mustreceive additional and separate potable water treatment. Do not apply more than1.0 ppm as metallic copper in any waters. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDSThis pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Waters treated with thisproduct may be hazardous to aquatic organisms. Treatment of aquatic weeds andalgae can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead algae and weeds. Thisoxygen loss can cause fish and invertebrate suffocation. To minimize this hazard,do not treat more than ½ of the water body to avoid depletion of oxygen due todecaying vegetation. Wait at least 14 days between treatments. Begin treatmentalong the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreatedareas. Consult with the State or local agency with primary responsibility forregulating pesticides before applying to public waters, to determine if a permit isrequired.Certain water conditions including low pH (= 6.5), low dissolved organic carbon(DOC) levels (3.0 mg/L or lower), and “soft” waters (i.e. alkalinity less than 50 mg/L),increases the potential acute toxicity to non-target aquatic organisms. Do not use inwaters containing trout or other fish species that are highly sensitive to copper if thealkalinity is less than 50 ppm. Fish toxicity generally decreases when the hardnessof water increases. Captain XTR must not be used in ornamental ponds containingKoi.

PRODUCT INFORMATIONCaptain XTR is a chelated copper formulation that is effective in controlling a broadrange of green and blue-green (cyanobacteria) algae, including filamentous,planktonic and macrophytic. Captain XTR is also an effective herbicide onsubmersed weed species with susceptibility to copper. The ethanolamines inCaptain XTR reduce the precipitation of copper with carbonates and bicarbonates inthe water. Use the lower concentrations/rates in softer water (<50 ppm alkalinity) or whentreating species with greater susceptibility to Captain XTR; use higherconcentrations/rates in harder water (>50 ppm alkalinity) and when treating heavierinfestations and/or less susceptible species. Treatment NotesPerformance of Captain XTR is enhanced under certain conditions. It isrecommended to consult a SePRO Aquatic Specialist for guidance in implementinga treatment program to achieve optimal results. The following apply to the use ofCaptain XTR to achieve optimum effectiveness:• Treat when growth first begins to appear (if possible) or when target vegetationis actively growing.• Apply in a manner that will ensure even distribution of Captain XTR within thetreatment area.• Use a high-pressure surface spray application to break up dense floating algalmats.• In heavily infested areas, a second application may be necessary. Retreat areasif regrowth begins to appear or if seasonal control is desired. Repeatingapplication of Captain XTR too soon after initial application may have no effect.

No. 67690-9FPL201312052Precautions and Restrictions• Do not apply Captain XTR directly to, or otherwise permit it to come into contactwith any desirable plants as injury may result. • Do not apply in such a way that concentrated Captain XTR comes in contactwith crops, ornamentals, grass or other desirable plants. • Wash spray equipment thoroughly before and after each application.• Contents may cause bluing where marcite has been etched.Spray Drift ManagementA variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed,temperature, relative humidity) and method of application (e.g., ground, aerial,airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate allfactors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.Droplet SizeApply only as a medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume meandiameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.Wind SpeedDo not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if thewind direction favors on-target deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph), and thereare no sensitive areas within 250 feet downwind.Temperature InversionsIf applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if a)conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions existat or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperatureinversions or stable atmospheric conditions.Other State and Local RequirementsApplicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regardingapplication of copper compounds. Where states have more stringent regulations,they must be observed.EquipmentAll aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained andcalibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates.Additional requirements for aerial applications:- The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotorblade diameter.- Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety.Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopyunless a greater height is required for aircraft safety.- When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath must be displaceddownwind. The applicator must compensate for this displacement at the upand downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the aircraftupwind.Additional requirements for ground boom application:Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.APPLICATION INFORMATIONFor aquatic weed control (including algae and vascular plants), do not exceeda concentration of 1.0 ppm copper during any single application; wait aminimum of 14 days between retreatments. (When treating aquaculture pondswhen fish are present, do not exceed a concentration of 0.4 ppm during anysingle application when targeting nuisance algae; wait a minimum of 10 daysbetween treatments.)Application Methods and RatesSurface Spray/Injection Algaecide ApplicationFor effective control, proper rates of Captain XTR should be maintained for aminimum of three hours. The application concentrations/rates in Table 1 are basedon static or minimal flow situations. Where significant dilution occurs from untreatedwaters or loss of water, within a three hour period, Captain XTR may have to bemetered in (refer to the Drip System or Metering Pump Application for FlowingWater Treatments section of this label).Identify the algae growth present as one of the following types: planktonic(suspended), filamentous (matforming), or macrophytic algae (chara/nitella).Determine the surface acreage (1 acre = 43,560 ft.2) and average depth of infestedarea.Refer to chart below to determine gallons of Captain XTR to apply per surface acre.† For planktonic and filamentous algae, Captain XTR may be applied up to 1.0 ppmwhen growth conditions require higher rates and for difficult to control species. For dense infestations of filamentous algae or where the species of Hydrodictyon,Cladophora or Pithophora are present, apply the higher rate in the rate range.Filamentous algae species are easier to control before floating to the water’ssurface (when they are forming on the pond/lake bottom). An adjuvant, such as d-limonene or similar surfactant, may be added for enhanced control of floating matsor difficult to control species of algae. Follow surfactant labeling instructions forapplication rates and use directions.For planktonic (suspended) algae and freefloating filamentous algae mats,application rates should be based on treating to depths where algae are present(e.g. the upper 3 to 4 feet of water). For dense infestations and in certain othersituations, it may be necessary to calculate rates based on the depth of knownalgae infestation (e.g. > 4 feet) or require treating the entire water column in thetarget area. To calculate the application rate per surface acre, multiply theapplication rate in Table 1 (0.6 to 3.0 Gallon per Acre Foot) by the average depth ofinfestation, or average water depth if infestation reaches the entire water column.As a surface or subsurface application, Captain XTR may be applied diluted orundiluted, whichever is most suitable to ensure uniform coverage of the area to betreated. Dilution with water may be necessary at the lower application rates. Dilutethe required amount of Captain XTR with enough water to ensure even distributionin the treated area with the type of equipment being used. For best results, diluteCaptain XTR in water to provide a minimum spray mix of 20 to 50 gallons per acre;in areas with heavy infestations of filamentous algae, a total tank mix of > 50 gallonsper acre may be necessary; break up floating algae mats before spraying or whileapplication is being made.Submersed Plant Control ApplicationsCaptain XTR can be applied to control hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata), egeria (Egeriadensa), and other aquatic weeds with susceptibility to copper. Apply Captain XTRat a rate to achieve 0.75 to 1.0 ppm copper (2.3 to 3.0 Gallons Captain XTR/Acrefoot). In heavily infested areas, a second application after the 14 day retreatmentinterval may be necessary. TANK MIXES WITH OTHER AQUATIC ALGAECIDES ANDHERBICIDESCaptain XTR may be mixed with other herbicides or algaecides registered foraquatic use provided that no labeling prohibits such mixing. Captain XTR can betank mixed with other herbicides to improve efficacy; and to control algae in areaswhere heavy algae growth may cover target submersed plant species and interferewith herbicide exposure. Do not exceed any labeled rate or dose of any of theproducts in the combination. Observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitationsand precautions of all products used in mixtures. To ensure compatibility, a jar testis recommended before field application of any tank mix combination. It isrecommended to consult with SePRO Corporation for latest tank mixrecommendations. NOTE: Tank mixing or use of Captain XTR with any other product which is notspecifically listed on the Captain XTR label shall be at the exclusive risk of the user,applicator and/or application adviser, to the extent allowed by applicable law. Captain XTR and EndothallCaptain XTR may be applied as a tank mix or simultaneously injected or used withthe dipotassium salt of endothall (e.g. Cascade®) or the mono (N,N-dimethylalkylamine) salt of endothall (e.g. Teton®) to broaden the weed controlspectrum and/or reduce injection times or rates in canals, ditches, and laterals. Inflowing canals, apply Captain XTR via drip or injection at a rate of 0.1 to 1.0 ppm(See Table 2) in conjunction with Teton (0.05 – 2.0 ppm) or Cascade (0.35-3.0 ppm)for a minimum of one hour. TABLE 1Captain Application Rates (Gallons per surface acre)Algae Type or SpeciesDose RatesTreatment CommentsPPMCopperGallonsper AcreFootPlanktonic(Suspended) 0.2 - 1.0† 0.6 - 3.0Apply lower rates for light infestations.Use higher rates on heavy blooms andwhere algae masses are clumped andaccumulated.Filamentous(Mat-forming) 0.2 - 1.0† 0.6 - 3.0Apply lower rates for early seasonapplications, light infestations ortreatment of regrowth. Apply higherrates on surface mats and species suchas Pithophora, Cladophora, Lyngbya,and Hydrodictyon.Macrophytic(Chara/Nitella/StarryStonewort)0.4 - 1.0 1.2 - 3.0Apply lower rates for new infestations orearly season growth. Apply higher rateson older, established calcified plants.Apply as close to plant growth aspossible.Hydrilla Control – Captain XTR + Diquat Tank MixCaptain XTR can be mixed with diquat (diquat dibromide) in a 2:1 ration of CaptainXTR:Diquat (e.g. 4 gallons Captain XTR and 2 gallons diquat [e.g. Littora®- 2 lbsa.i./gallon] per acre in waters with average depth of 4 feet). Lower rates of CaptainXTR may also enhance the activity of diquat. Captain XTR should be applied at aminimum of 0.1 ppm in combination with diquat. Higher rates may be needed inareas with dense weeds. Drip System or Metering Pump Application for Flowing Water TreatmentsFor Use in Potable Water, Canals, Ditches, and Irrigation and DrainageSystemsFor optimal control, apply Captain XTR as soon as algae begin active growth orinterfere noticeably with normal delivery of water (clogging of lateral headgates,suction screens, weed screens, and siphon tubes). Delaying treatment couldperpetuate the problem causing massing and compacting of plants. Heavyinfestations and low flow may cause poor distribution resulting in unsatisfactorycontrol. Under these conditions repeated applications or increasing water flow rateduring application may be necessary. Prior to treatment it is important to accurately determine water flow rates. In theabsence of weirs, orifices, or similar devices, which give accurate waterflowmeasurements, volume of flow can be estimated by the following formula:Cubic feet per second (cfs) = average width (feet) x average depth (feet) xaverage velocity† (feet/second) x 0.9† The velocity can be estimated by determining the length of time it takes afloating object to travel a defined distance. Divide the distance (feet) by thetime (seconds) to estimate velocity (feet/seconds). This measure should berepeated 3 times at the intended application site and then calculate theaverage velocity. After accurately determining the water flow rate in cfs or gallons/minute, find thecorresponding Captain XTR rate in Table 2 or use the below formula.cfs x desired concentration of copper (ppm) = quarts/hour of applicationCalculate the amount of Captain XTR needed to maintain the drip rate for atreatment period of 3 hours by multiplying either:Quarts / hr x 3; Milliliters / Minute x 180; or Fluid ounces / Minute x 180Rates will target 1.0 ppm copper concentration in the treated water for the treatmentperiod. Lower concentrations may be used on highly susceptible algae species or iflonger exposure times are maintained. Introduction of the chemical should be madein the channel at weirs or other turbulence-creating structures to promote thedispersion of the chemical. For injection periods longer than three hours (180minutes), calculate the amount of Captain XTR needed by multiplying the rate bythe desired time in minutes or hours, as appropriate. Use a drum or tank equipped with a valve or other volume control device that canbe calibrated to maintain a constant drip rate. Use a stopwatch and appropriatemeasuring container to set the desired drip rate. Readjust accordingly if the canalflow rate changes during the treatment period. A small pump or other meteringdevice may be used to meter Captain XTR into the water more accurately.Application can be made using diluted or undiluted material.Results can vary depending upon species and density of algae and vegetation,desired distance of control and flow rate, and impact of water quality on efficacy.Periodic maintenance treatments may be required to maintain seasonal control. It isrecommended to consult a SePRO Aquatic Specialist to determine optimal use rate,location of treatment stations and treatment period under local conditions.Slug Application Method for Flowing Irrigation Canals with no FunctioningPotable Water Intakes Do not use this method of application in flowing canals with functioning potablewater intakes at or downstream from the application site. For optimal control, apply Captain XTR as soon as algae begin active growth orinterfere noticeably with normal delivery of water. Heavy infestations and low flowmay cause poor distribution resulting in unsatisfactory control. Under theseconditions repeated applications or increasing water flow rate during applicationmay be necessary. Apply Captain XTR into the irrigation canal or lateral at 0.05 (6.4fluid ounces) to 0.55 gallons (70 fluid ounces) per CFS as a slug or dumpapplication (see above for determining CFS). Depending upon water hardness,alkalinity, velocity and algae conditions, a slug application is typically required every5 to 30 miles. High water hardness or alkalinity levels may require the use of higherrates within the rate range above to achieve control. When velocity levels are higher(>1 foot per second) distance between drop stations for slug applications can beincreased.Chemigation System ApplicationCaptain XTR may be applied for the maintenance of chemigation systems. Tocontrol algae in chemigation systems Captain XTR should be applied continuouslyduring water application. For continuous addition application apply 0.91 - 9.1gallons of Captain XTR per 1,000,000 (one million) gallons of water (0.3 - 3.0gallons of Captain XTR per acre-foot of water). This will produce a concentration of0.1 to 1.0 ppm of copper. Do not exceed 1.0 ppm of copper or 0.91 gallons ofCaptain XTR per 100,000 gallons of water. For additional guidance regardingspecific calibrations or application techniques contact application equipmentmanufacturer, supplier, or pest control advisor. It is not necessary to agitate ordilute Captain XTR in the supply tank before application to chemigation systems.CHEMIGATION SYSTEM APPLICATION• Apply Captain XTR only through sprinkler and drip irrigation systems including:center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set,or hand move; flood (basin), furrow, border or drip (trickle) systems. • Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop canresult from non-uniform distribution of treated water. • If you have questions about calibration, contact your SePRO Aquatic Specialist,State Extension Service, equipment manufacturer, or other experts. • Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used forpesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place (refer to theChemigation Systems Connected to a Public Water Supply section of this label).• A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for itsoperation or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut thesystem down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
