WHY YOU SHOULD
SWITCH TO
MALATHION FOR

Malathion—a phosphate insecticide—
takes dead aim on alfalfa, weevil and
aphids without creating residue problems
To control alfalfa weevil, spray malathion when tops begin to show some
damage. This timing kills weevil larvae, should give fast thorough clean-nip

lished by law.
How to use malathion
Malathion can be applied as a
spray or dust with ground equip
ment or by plane. To assure cov
erage, sprays are recommended.
The recommended dosage is IVs
pints of a 50% or 57% emulsifi
able liquid per 100 gallons of
water or 30 lbs. of a 4% or 5%
dust per acre.. For best results.
Aphid—Pea aphid is species that
attacks alfalfa. When infestation is
heavy, plants wilt and die, field looks
