Dennis,

The Michigan tree fruit spray guide shows Captan and sulfur compatible.
Captan is sulfur based, so one could probably overdo it by adding too much
sulfur to the Captan (I'm not sure why anyone would want to do this anyway)
but the list shows it is compatible.  Are you sure your not thinking of Lime
Sulfur which is incompatible because of the alkalinity?  The spray guide
also shows sulfur is fully compatible with the organophosphates including
Malathion.
