MORE FARMERS USE IT THAN
ANY OTHER ROOTWORM INSECTICIDE
Here's Why
' □ Effective, season - long
control of resistant and non
resistant rootworms There’s
no. mid-season letdown when
you use BUX.
□ Doesn’t leave harmful
residues. Corn protected with
BUX, whether grown for
grain or silage, can be fed to
livestock.
□ Less hazardous to use
than most -rootworm insecti
cides. You don’t need a res
pirator or other special'
equipment with BUX Just
apply it according to label
directions, as with anv pesti
cide.
□ Resists leaching in
rainy weather. Even heavy
rains right after application
won't leach BUX out of the
soil.
□ Odor-controlled. There’s no objectionable smell as with most rootworm insecti
cides.
n Won’t damage application equipment. BUX is formulated on non-abrasive clay
granules. So there’s no worry of it tearing up your pesticide applicator.
□ Choice of formulations- BUX is available in free-flowing granular or liquid forms.
□ Recommended by university entomologists. And used by more farmers than any
other rootworm insecticide the best recommendation possible
