With this important new chemical discovery—
Thiodan—you get a multiple kill of several
potato pests at the same time. This means one
shot control which, of course, is a more eco
nomical way to protect your crop.
Thiodan is a concentrate. Just mix with water
and apply with ground or air spray equipment.
And Thiodan is compatible with all commonly
used fungicides. Its effectiveness has been proved
over several seasons.
