ETHANE M-45 Controls early and late blights— the most serious threats to quality
Md productivity in potatoes. Dithane® M-45 is unlike any other potato fungicide you can
My. Its unique, new formulation combines zinc, manganese and di-thiocarbamates into one
•owerful blight fighter. This superior fungicide is effective under severe conditions such as
humidity caused by the weather or by irrigation. Dithane M-45 protects foliage
enaciously, an ability of critical importance if rainy weather should
felay your spray program.
-Ask your dealer for Dithane M-45. It is tough on blight fungi but
e fttle on foliage. Use Dithane M-45 on your potatoes all season and
et the best available blight control fungicide on the market today.
