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.
For further information contact your
local insecticide supplier Before using
any pesticide, stop and read the label.
