Cygon It's important to protect developing plant buds against lygus as well as aphids and leafhoppers. The way to do it is with Cygon* 267 Systemic insecticide. Cygon gives a high contact kill, then continues as a systemic protector working from within the plant. The time to apply Cygon is when alfalfa is in or approaching the bud stage. Cygon is economical, too. Because it has long-lasting activity and is used at low rates a little goes a long way. Cygon is a low-hazard materia: and when used according to directions there are no residue problems.
