IN STATE-BY-STATE PERFORMANCE . . .
Du Pont MANZATE*
means higher yields
of No. 1 tomatoes
In more than ten years of testing and field experi
ence in all important tomato areas, “Manzate” has
consistently rated among the top fungicides for con
trolling the five major fungus diseases of tomatoes.
Look at the state-by-state performance:
EASTERN SHORE —In Maryland tomatoes treated with
“Manzate” led in yield and “Manzate” led in control of
serious infection of grey leaf spot. In Virginia, large
acreages of tomatoes sprayed with “Manzate” straight
through the season came through with excellent control
ot early blight, grey leaf spot, and anthracnose.
NEW JERSEY —Growers who stuck to a regular disease
control schedule with “Manzate”, under the most severe
disease conditions, were very well satisfied.
PENNSYLVANIA —“Manzate” is officially recommended
as the best control for grey leaf spot and Alternana
early blight.
OHIO— In tests conducted against late blight, a straight
disease control schedule of “Manzate” was superior to
9 other fungicide schedules. Late blight was severe late
in the season—at which time “Manzate” demonstrated
its superior power.
NEW YORK —Early blight caused severe and near com
plete defoliation in unsprayed tomato fields, but where
a minimum of four maneb sprays were applied, control
was excellent.
INDIANA —“Manzate” consistently gave best defolia
tion control (early blight and septoria), and tomatoes
treated with “Manzate” gave highest yields. Maneb is
the preferred tomato fungicide because of its all-around
greater effectiveness against the five most important
leaf and fruit diseases of tomatoes in Indiana.
Canning house records over a 10-year period show
that where “Manzate” was used in the crop pro
tection program for the last 5 years, the yield in
crease averaged 75% over that of the first 5 years,
when “Manzate” was not used. You and your con
tract growers will profit by recommending and using
Du Pont “Manzate.”
