Captan is a phthalimide fungicide that acts as a multi-site protectant. It interferes with fungal cellular respiration and enzyme function by reacting non-specifically with thiol (sulfhydryl) groups in fungal cells, preventing spore germination and inhibiting the establishment of infection. Because it acts at multiple sites rather than a single target enzyme, Captan is classified under FRAC Group M4 (multi-site inhibitors), a group associated with a low risk of resistance development.
