GET RID OF APHIDS, FLEA BEETLES and COLORADO POTATO BEETLES On Potatoes And Tomatoes Phosphamidon actually hunts pests down on pota to and tomato plants. It ‘kills them wherever they’re hiding under the curl of a leaf in the crevice of a stalk. This is because Phosphamidon doesn’t kill by con tact alone. It’s absorbed by the foliage and goes through the entire upper part Of the plant system. That means it kills hidden insects other sprays miss. Phosphamidon gets rid of Colorado potato beetles, (even the resistant ones) as well as flea beetles, leaf hoppers and all four kinds of ap hids that attack potatoes and tomatoes. - ~ ", Distributed by P.
