Blight’s out
There’s only one sure way to fight blight. Keep your
potato plants covered with an effective fungicide A protec
tive coating that will prevent blight spores from germinat
ing and entering the plant.
DIFOLATAN 80 Wettable has shown, in test after test,
that it can do the iob Excellent protection against both
early and late blight Particularly effective against tuber
rot.
DIFOLATAN sticks and stays on the plant, resists
weathering from rain or sprinkler irrigation That means
you can maintain your schedule of applications, without
worrying about weather or irrigation schedules
Made with its own wetting agent, so you don’t have to
add a spreader-sticker in the spray tank Relatively low
hazard to livestock and humans, and since there is no resi
due m the harvested potato crop you can use it right up to
harvest without concern over residues.
Protection against tuber rot is outstanding When you
put potatoes in stoiage, you’ll never know how well you did
in the blight fight until you’ve shipped the last of them
Fields may look reasonably healthy before harvest, but if
you put infected tubers into storage, you can find yourself
with a costly, heavy cull out of late blight tubei rot infec
tion.
DIFOLATAN works to give you greater yields of
heahhy potatoes And bigger, healthier profits When you
fight blight the right way, everything is brighter.
