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 job. 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 in 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 storage, 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 tuber rot infec tion DIFOLATAN woiks to give you greater yields of healthy potatoes And bigger healthier profits When you fight blight the right way, everything is brighter.
