Avian Influenza Insurance Approved HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) The Pennsylvania poul try industry has always been dil igent in biosecurity to protest their flocks from devastating poultry diseases, especially avian influenza (A. 1.). Unfortu nately, sometimes we must face an outbreak that can literally bankrupt a poultry operation. Anyone in poultry remembers the 1983 A.I. epidemic, but do you also remember 1993 and the A.I. outbreak in turkeys? Or how about the 1996-97 outbreak when 1.5 million birds depopu lated? Workingjor the things we want - Better yields. Technology that pays. And the chance to go on calling our own shots. A Rootworm Control New Prescribe™ Seed - Applied Insecticide provides protection against corn rootworm, as well as wireworms, seed corn maggots and flea beetles. It provides both contact and systemic activity against insects. NC+ applies Prescribe™ to the seed, for highly uniform and accurate protection on each seed. Ask your NC+ Dealer for more details. Call District Sales Manager Harvey Doyle at 724-459-8580 or see one of these NC+ Dealers.
