and foliage on the right are strong and healthy. They were
protected from fungi attack by DITHANE® M-45, a superior
and unique fungicide. This new product chemically combines
zinc, manganese and ethylene bisdithiocarbamate. It has been
proved effective through extensive use on tomatoes in the
United States and throughout the world. DITHANE M-45
protects tomatoes against anthracnose, early and late blights,
gray leaf mold, gray and Septoria leaf spots all season long.
Apply T/a' to 3 lbs. of DITHANE M-45 depending on weather
conditions, plant growth and extent of disease. Repeat every
7 to 10 days right up to picking time. See your dealer for full
