I know that you cannot mix Captan and Sulfur, but you can mix Captan and 
Malathion, which are 2 of the products in Bonide's Fruit Tree Spray.  My 
rule of thumb is "When in doubt, don't!"  But to be correct, try the jar 
test by mixing the appropriate rates in a quart jar to test compatibility. 
Then spray some on a test tree or part of a tree to see if there are 
phytotoxicity issues.
