SMOKETOWJf Phone Lane, 397-3539 potato pests can’t hide from Phosphamidon , You’ve probably read about - the insect-seeking' ’* Killer-OKTHO Phosphamidon. 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 them. 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 potata .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 predatorsi 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 dbn requirements. With Phos phamidon you just can’t miss.
