There's a better
in store for you.
Plus better storage out of
your yield.
That’s why more and more
potato growers rely on a full
season schedule of Bravo
500 fungicide.
Nothing equals Bravo 500
when it comes to preventing
early and late blight infec
tions that defoliate plants.
And Bravo 500 is just as
effective against Botrytis
vine rot.
It’s first-rate control like
this, along with proper vine
kill, that delivers a better yield
at harvest. A healthier crop
going into storage.
What’s more, Bravo 500 has
a built-in spreader/sticker
