Holiday - Propagation & Soil Testing HANNA Combo Meter Starter Kit

Propagation Kit

Get All the Data You Need With Just One Kit!

Use This Kit to Get Your Seeds & Transplants Off to a Great Start!

Target: For gardeners, farmers and growers who want the convenience of 1 tool that can measure soil pH, EC/TDS and temperature. Convenient to use and waterproof for long-life. Description: The HANNA High Range Combo Meter is a multi-use instrument that can be used to measure soil pH, EC/TDS and temperature. Knowing the pH level of soil is very important as it is a factor in the availability of soil nutrients. Electrical conductivity (EC) and TDS are measurements of total dissolved soilds in water, where EC levels detect solids that conduct electricity. An EC measurement can reveal amounts of clay in the soil, salinity, and moisture contact and both pH and EC/TDS measurements will help to distinguish the amount of nutrients available to plants, if nutrients will burn plants, if salinity needs correction, or if additional nutrients are needed.

Target: Healthy plants depend upon quality growing medium to get started. Description: We’ve put together the Propagation kit which provides you with: • Light Warrior Agroponic Grow Medium (1 cu ft) • Root Maximizer Mycorrhizae Fungi (2 oz) Light Warrior Agroponic Grow Medium is an excellent soilless growing medium that is perfect for seed starting and planting transplants. Root Maximizer provides additional beneficial mycorrhizae fungi that help your plants develop better root systems and grow robustly. They will use less water and less fertilizer.

Kit Includes:

While supplies last, the Bethel Organics Seed Starting Kit will be included as a bonus! The Bethel Organics Seed Starting Kit includes 8 peat pots, 1 packet of Dynamite OMRI Listed Slow Release Fertilizer, 8 Wooden Plant Markers, and a Gardeners Almanac.

Description: pH is a measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution. Alkalinity is related to pH because alkalinity establishes the buffering capacity of water. Alkalinity is a measure of a particular water’s capacity to neutralize acids and affects how much acid is required to change pH. Both alkalinity and pH must be considered when adjusting the pH of water. The term “alkalinity” should not be confused with the term “alkaline,” which describes situations where pH levels exceed 7.0. Use alkalinity and pH kits to determine alkalinity and pH of your water. (2-Hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid) –H3C6H5O7

Biomin® Calcium 2-0-0 Calcium-25® Mineral Supplement Promote Growth and Increase Yields of Tomatoes, Peppers, Herbs and Other Plants. Target: Calcium deficiency related issues and diseases, like Blossom-end Rot, Cavity Spot, Bitter Pit and Tip Burn. Description: OMRI listed product that can be used on apple or any other fruit tree to help prevent calcium deficient related diseases, increase crop yield and lengthen fruit’s storage period. Efficiently absorbed patented formula as the calcium in this product has been attached to waxy compounds. Plant leaves contain waxy components aiding in protection and growth regulation. During active growing, these waxy compounds will allow substances to permeate into the leaf. When correctly applied to growing foliage, absorption of the calcium occurs because the waxy compound in the formula mimics those naturally occurring on leaf surfaces. Once permeated, calcium spreads through the plant, promoting growth. Suggested Use: Mix about one level teaspoon per gallon of water. Do not use any additives or apply simultaneously with other liquid fertilizers. Use a hand sprayer, with a fine mist to apply to plants. Apply to the entire plant with droplets remaining for approximately 10 minutes. Apply early or midway in the season, and when temperatures are warm (≈ 77°F or higher). For increased yield, spray during early development, repeat 2-3 times and reapply monthly thereafter. Spray up to 2 weeks before harvest to improve storage life. Apply fertilizers about 24 hours after application. The 8 oz. container will dilute to a total of 40 gallons, covering about 0.4-1 acre. 1811200 8 oz. For Vegetables (.75 lb.) $69.50 1811201 8 oz.

Pest Control - Beneficial Insects “The first step in controlling pests is to correctly identify the pest causing problems. There are a lot of resources to help with identification: email a photo to Dr. Buglady; check with your local Extension office or nursery; or use the internet. Sometimes the damage rendered by a pest is unmistakable – so you won’t need to see the pest, just seeing the damage is enough to know what is going on. Correct identification of the pest is key to knowing whether a pest is likely to become a problem and what the best management strategy will be. Learning the biology and life cycle of the pest will help you decide on the most effective management strategy and the best time to implement the plan.” - Dr. Buglady

Pest Control - Beneficial Insects When To Use Beneficial Instects? “Beneficial insects are an important part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. Once pest presence has been detected, it is time to make releases of beneficials. Many pest infestations can be rid of simply by applying generalist beneficial insects such as Green Lacewings, Ladybugs, Praying Mantids and Minute Pirate Bugs. For more specific infestations, consider using our beneficial insects that target a certain species of pest such as Aphid Predators, Whitefly Parasites and Mite Predators. No matter what your pest, be sure to apply prior to or at onset of infestation on a programmatic basis, until the infestation subsides.” - Dr. Buglady

Pest Control - Beneficial Insects

Do You See Scale on Your Plants? Scale insects have round, oval hard shells approx. 1/16-1/8 inch (2-4 mm) in diameter and are either armored or soft. Armored scale have a plate-like shell, and do not excrete honeydew that can cause black mold and ants. Immature scale are called crawlers, shell-less and generally invisible. They seek foliage (stems/leaves/fruit) to feed upon; sucking plant juices. Scale reach maturity when a shell develops. They remain affixed to foliage until the next generation of crawlers are born.

An IPM Approach to Controlling Leafminers. Leafminers, liriomyza sp. feed within leaves or needles and produce damage that looks like meandering tunnels (mines). Although leafminers rarely pose a threat to a healthy plant, the damage they cause is very visible. Monitoring using Blue or Yellow Sticky Traps (page 32) is the first step in managing leafminers. These traps will capture the adults and alert you to when eggs are being laid so you can be prepared to treat for the emergence of the larval stage. Regular inspection of the trap is essential to the timing of interventions. When populations reach an unacceptable level we recommend using Spinosad (Monterey Garden Insect Spray (page 51) or Entrust WP (see on our website) as a knockdown spray for the larvae. Follow knockdown sprays with programmatic releases of the Leafminer Parasite, Diglyphus isaea. Follow these applications with releases of Beneficial Nematodes (page 44-45) to control larval stages in the soil.

Pest Control - Beneficial Nematodes WHAT ARE BENEFICIAL NEMATODES? Beneficial Nematodes are live, microscopic organisms (non-segmented roundworms) that occur naturally in soil throughout the world. They are parasitic to insect pests that typically have a developing (larval or pupal) stage of life in the soil; however, they have been known to also parasitize above ground stages of adults, nymphs and larvae.

HOW DO BENEFICIAL NEMATODES WORK?

HOW DO I APPLY NEMATODES? 1. Mix Ready-To-Use Beneficial Nematodes with water. 2. Apply pre-dawn or at dusk with hose-end sprayer, backpack sprayer, pump sprayer or watering can. 3. Keep area moist at least 2 weeks.

For Treatment:

3. Antoinette Malan @ Stellenbosch University, South Africa.

1. Beneficial Nematodes are applied to soil to locate pests, enter through orifices or body walls, and infect pests with toxic bacteria. 2. Bacteria kills pests within 24 to 48 hours. Beneficial Nematodes feed on bacteria and host insect tissue. Adult stages of Beneficial Nematodes produce hundreds of thousands of new juveniles.

Apply every 2 weeks until pest infestation subsides.

For Prevention: Apply in the Spring, Summer and Fall (2-3 times per year).

Applying Beneficial Nematodes with a hose-end sprayer.

Pest Control - Crawling Insects Clothes Moth Traps Uses A Natural Pheromone Lure! Target: Adult male clothes moths. Desciption: The Clothes Moth Trap attracts and captures adult male clothes moths. It signals when an infestation is present, but does not control larvae on clothing or personal objects. Female moths are especially attracted to oily or soiled fabrics, where they lay their eggs. The moths avoid light and are therefore difficult to find and identify. The Clothes Moth Trap catches webbing cloths moth during their mating season by using a natural pheromone lure. If moths are found in the trap, take immediate measures to control the larvae. Search out damaged fabrics and destroy, dry clean or freeze them (in a deep freeze for at least 14 days). Suggested Use: Open box carefully. Remove inner parts. Peel release paper from enclosed sticky pad. Remove lure from foil pouch and place in center of sticky pad. Fold top and bottom flaps inside box. Insert pad as shown on back of package. Place trap where moths occur (bedroom closets). Use tab on side of box to pin trap to a wall at eye level. Replace every 12 weeks, or sooner if full of insects. Use traps all year round.

Cockroach Traps

This Pantry Moth Trap is Environmentally Sound and Uses Pheromone Lures to Attract the Moths and Trap Them! Target: Adult moths. Desciption: This trap attracts and captures adult flour moths (Indian meal moths, almond moths and raisin moths). These moths are found in flour, rice, crackers, dog food, bird seed and cereal. Trap works by luring male moths into trap with a pheromone (insect hormone) that female moths use to attract males for mating. Reducing the number of male moths reduces egg laying and mating. It is a good idea to keep a few of these traps on hand. Traps work without harmful chemicals! Suggested Use: Use one or two traps for an average sized room or closet and will last 3 months. 1280302 Revenge Pantry Moth Trap (.5 lb.) $7.99

Fly Eliminators™ are tiny (approximately 1/8”) beneficial insects that parasitize flies in their developing pupal (cocoon) stage. Scientifically they are referred to as Fly Parasites or Fly Parasitoids.

fly lifecycle.

Adult female flies lay their eggs in decaying organic matter, especially manure. Only a few hours later, these eggs develop into microscopic larvae (maggot stage) and burrow down into the manure. The maggots grow until they form a cocoon (pupal stage).

ARBICO's Recommended Fly Eliminator Program

Then, the female Fly Eliminators seek out the fly pupae and begin to deposit their eggs inside. The eggs grow into larvae that feed on the developing fly, stopping the adult pest fly from hatching.

Fly Eliminators reproduce in about 21 days, constantly strengthening the Fly Eliminator population. Pest flies reproduce at a faster rate than our Fly Eliminators, so they must be replenished on a regular basis, approx. 2 – 4 weeks.
