WHAT IS
BUX?
Bux Is a carbamate Insecticide developed by
Ortho for control of resistant and non-resist
.ant corn rootworms.
WHY BUX IS BETTER!
Bux is the only corn rootworm insecticide that
offers all the following advantages:
• Effective, season-long control with a single appli
cation no matter how early you plant, Bux stays
active throughout the hatching and larval stages of
rootworm development.
# Doesn’t leave harmful residues
• Less hazardous to us. There’s no heed to wear
special equipment such as a respirator or goggles,
when using Bux.
• No objectionable odor
• Flows freely through application equipment
• Resists leeching in rainy weather
• Won’t damage application equipment. Bux is
formulated on non-abrasive clay granules. So
there’s no worry of tearing up your pesticide ap
plicator.
, • Recommended throughout corn belt. Bux is rec
* ommended by University Entomologists in all
states where resistant rootworms are a problem.
