Early and late blight are always threats m every potato state... they wait for no one. m HAVE EQUIPMENT READY. Check and replace faulty nozzles; calibrate your sprayer to deliver the right gallonage. 3 START EARLY. Don’t wait for blight to strike. The danger of blight attacks is increased by abundant rainfall, fogs, heavy dews, cool nights after warm days, and by irrigation, r 00 BUY THE RIGHT FUNGICIDE, AND THE RIGHJ FUNGICIDE FOR POTATO BLIGHT CONTROL IS DITHANE® M-22. ... It is more toxic to blight spores ... It resists adverse weather ... It gives you standby protection ... It keeps you on the right in case bad weather forces you to track for higher profits, lengthen the spray intervals IT] APPLY DiTHANE M-22 AT CORRECT DOSAGES: Early Season Mid-Season small vines medium vines 1 Ib./Acre V/-> Ibs./Acre ~6] TIME YOUR DITHANE M-22 SPRAYS CORRECTLY: Low Blight Potential Moderate Blight Potential High Blight Potential 7-10 days 6-8 days 5-7 days *f~7~l DON’T SKIP ANY DITHANE M-22 APPLICATIONS. Many growers combine fungicide-insecticide sprays and, if insects are not a threat, will skip one 01 more sprays. Skipping a Dithane M-22 application may give blight sports a chance to get a toe-hold on potato foliage. 8 I USE DITHANE M-22 UNTIL THE VINES ARE KILLED. Waiting too long between the last spray and vine killing is risky. Blight spores (especially late blight i can attack anj 7 time and cause tuber rot in storage. _9j SEE YOUR DEALER FOR DITHANE M-22.
