potato pests can’t hide
from Phosphamidon I
You’ve probably read about the insect-seeking
Killer-ORTHO Phosphaihidon. We have it. We’ve
'seen it work. We recommend it for eliminating
potato pests.
Here’s why.
Wherever insects hide safe from other sprays
(under the curl of a leaf, in crevice of a stalk)
Phosphamidon hunts them down. And kills theoi.
' -Phosphamidon kills on contact. But, it doesn’t
have to. It is absorbed by the foilage and pene
trates the entire upper part of the plant sys
tem. Result: a “remote control” kilL that gets the
hidden .insects other sprays miss.
The list of insects reads like an encyclopedia of
potato pests: Colorado potato beetle (even the
, resistant one), all varieties of aphids, flea beetles,
corn borers, leaf hoppers just about every
insect that chews or sucks. What’s more, most
insects that are resistant to. other sprays find
Phosphamidon irresistible.
Phosphamidon is absorbed so quickly that work
ers can enter “the fields a few hours after spray
ing. And the natural predators that feed on harm
ful potato insects can safely return too.
Don’t spray money away, hit or miss, with or
dinary sprays come in or
phone us for your Phosphami
don requirements. With Phos
phamidon you just can’t miss.
