PHOSPHAMIDON
3.29
Phosphamidon actually hunts pests down on potato
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 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.

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
