ORTHO Phosphamidon is a great wav to control pests
on apples, citrus, cotton, walnuts and vegetables
Phosphamidon 8 spray is a .liquid organic insecticide
that kills a wide range of insects on contact
Phosphamidon is also a systemic Quickly absorbed in
to plant tissue, it moves throughout
the plant paits for continuing pro
tection against major sucking insects
and certain chewing insects
It turns plants and trees into
tiaps for aphids, thnps, leafhoppers,
fleabeetles, leaf mmeis, husk flies,
and codling moths
Because the protection works in
side the plant; it resists being washed
away by ram or wateung it lasts
longer
Phosphanndon simplifies the
whole job of insect control by doing
a double-action job against many
crop enemies You save on labor,
bookkeeping and inventory costs by
using only one material to do the pro
tective job ordinarily requiring as
many as three.
