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. QJ]jS3BEI3H3 Smoketown, Pa. Phosphamidom is absorbed quickly, too, so workers can enter the fields just a few hours after spraying. Why take chances on missing any potato pests. See us now for ORTHO Phosphamidon, TM. Reg. U.
