The past several years I've dipped my seeds in CAPTAN to help reduce
dampening off and other nasty things, before planting. I've heard/read
that some of the liquid fish/seaweed products(Neptune Harvest) are also
effective in preventing these from happening.I've used Neptune Harvest
on my plants as a folliar feed, but never as an inoculent. Anyone done
this before, and if so, what results did you see.Pumpkinpiper

I use it as a fertilizer when I water plants all the time. It seems to make
the young plants (under 5 weeks), less susceptible to stress. I have never
used it as a seed inoculent though. The same as you, I use Captan along with
a little Diazinon for Corn Seed Maggot. Corn Seed Maggot can be a problem in
New England and their damage is often blamed on none fertal seed or poor
germination conditions.
