Protect seedlings from damping-off ! 



Pano-drench prevents and controls damping-off, 

 the disease that permits plants to grow to two-inch 

 height, then kills them overnight. One teaspoon, 

 diluted in 6 quarts 

 of water treats three 

 large flats. Applied 

 like plant food, Pano- 

 drench protection 

 lasts for weeks. Ap- 

 ply either before or 

 after planting. Use 

 also as root dip 

 when transplanting.
