GET RID OF

BEETLES
On Potatoes
Ask us about
Phosphamidon
Phosphamidon actually hunts pests down on pota
to plants. It kills them wherever they’re hiding
under the curl of a leaf in the crevice of
a stalk.
This is because Phosphamidon doesn’t kill by con
tact alone It’s absorbed by the foliage and goes
through the entire upper part of the plant system.
That means it kills hidden insects other sprays
miss. Phosphamidon gets rid of Colorado potato
beetles, (even the resistant ones) as well as
flea beetles, leaf hoppers and all four kinds of ap
hids that attack potatoes.
