Potato Blight Control
DITHANE M-22
bn as a grower and we as "your partner in crop protection” are
vays concerned with better, easier ways to control potato blights.
believe our development of Dithane M-22 to be a long step in
is direction—as important a step as when we introduced Dithank
■l4 fifteen years ago.
iTHANE M-22 (maneb) is the result of step-by-step laboratory work
id field trials. This careful, patient work paid off handsomely last
;ason. Data from commercial trials and from field tests by cooperating
■>eriment Stations Confirmed our confidence in Dithane M-22 as a
»erior potato blight fungicide. We want you to share this confidence
,h us. Detailed information on last season’s extensive fieldwork will
be sent to you and to your supplier during the coming 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. Our dosage recommendations will range from
one to two pounds, depending on weather,- disease conditions, and timing.
Soon you will be planning your potato spray program. Before you
decide on materials you ought 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 will more than
offset the small extra cost of a Dithane M-22 program.
