DIFOLATAN*
The
leading flowable
fungicide made
potato blight.
DIFOLATAN gives excellent protection against both
early and late blight. And is particularly effective
against tuber rot.
DIFOLATAN sticks to the plant, resists weathering
from ram or sprinkle irrigation. That means you can
maintain your schedule without worrying about the
effects of weather or irrigation.
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 infection.
DIFOLATAN works to give you greater yields of
healthy potatoes. And—because it’s flowable—it does
that even better.
Another good thing about the fastest selling potato
fungicide. It works on cucumbers, melons, and
tomatoes, too.
