Potato Blight Control
You as a grower and we as "you l, partner in crop protection" are
always concerned with better; easier ways to control potato blights.
We believe our development of Dithane.M-22 to be a long step in
this direction—as important a step as when we introduced Dithane
D-14 fifteen years ago.
Dithane M-22 (maneb) is the result of-step-by-step laboratory work
and field trials. This careful, patient-work paid.off handsomely last
season. Data from commercial trials and from field tests by cooperating
Experiment Stations confirmed our confidence in Dithane M-22 as a
superior potato blight fungicide. We want youJta share this confidence
with us. Detailed information on last season’s extensive fieldwork will
be sent to you and to your supplier during the coining months. Right
now we can tell you this: - - - -
We believe two main reasons why Dithane M-22, outperforms other
fungicides are its "built-in" ability to resist weathering, and its higher
toxicity to blight spores. One and one-half pounds of DitHane M-22
applied at seven-day intervals proved significantly better than two
quarts of Dithane D-14. Ourdosage recommendations will range from
one to two pounds, depending on disease conditions, and timing.
Soon you will be "planning your potato spray program. Before you
decide on materials "you ougfit to consider new Dithane M-22. Its
superior blight control performance, its over-all economy, its ease of
handling will please you, and the higher yields of No. I’s willrribre than
offset the small extra cost of a' Dithane M-22 program.
