COUNTER Works
BestPbr
Conservation Tillage.
For nine years, university
tests have shown COUNTER®
systemic msecticide-nemati
cide to be the most effective
corn insecticide there is—
whether you apply it banded
or remove your banders and
apply it directly in the seed''
furrow. Now, with more and
more growers going to some
form of reduced or minimum
tillage, field tests are also
proving COUNTER to be
the best insecticide for con
servation tillage.

For trashy fields,
apply in the seed furrow.
COUNTER can be applied
safely and directly in the seed
furrow where it won’t get
lost in the trash or be blown
away. At the same time,
COUNTER in-furrow or in
a band controls more corn
pests than any other insec
ticide. Plus, COUNTER acts
systemically, as well as on
contact, so it works through
the plant for total root and
early-season foliar protection,
