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 contact 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. Phosphami don gets rid of Colorado potato beetles (even the resis tant ones) as well as flea beetles, leaf hoppers and all four kinds of aphids that attack potatoes. P. L. ROHRER & BRO., INC.
