WANT TO KILL
INSECTS ON VEGETABLES
CLOSE TO HARVEST?
SC£ US FOR
ORTHO*
DIBROM*
Here’s how to get a quick, sure kill of insects on vege
tables close to harvest time and without harmful
residues: ORTHO DIBROM. You can actually spray
up to four days before cutting with this fast-acting
insecticide. And DIBROM gives a thorough kill. Only
minutes after spraying, insects will be dead or dying.
DIBROM gives a complete clean-up of more than 130
different insects including many phosphate resis
tant ones.
And DIBROM has a short residual
life, so your crop will be free of it
when it’s cut. DIBROM is register
ed for use on 35 vegetable crops.
Growers have had spectacular re
sults using it on broccoli, spinach,
cauliflower and cabbage to name
just a few.
So, don't let insects ruin your har
vest. If you’re having trouble, see
us now for ORTHO DIBROM.
