What's the prices for bio20, bountiful harvest and liquid litter?

[pugboy]

lime tree getting plenty whiteflies and fuzz
apart from regular surface insecticide what else recommended ?

it had leafminers and i used abamectin which seemed to work.

[NR8]

A spraying with neem and dish soap wouldn't hurt. You might need to spray a couple times a week to arrest the whitefly situation. I use a homemade mix with the addition baking soda, garlic, oil and cayenne powder. Smells horrible but seems to be working as a preventative measure. Trying to find a natural way to eradicate ants an bachac from munching my seedling leaves. Any suggestions?

How much for the abamectin?

[adnj]

You can use pyriproxyfen for whiteflies.

[pugboy]

cant remember but it Ithink around $60 for a lil bottle, not cheap

Double on the soap water for the black and white stuff on citrus trees.

[pugboy]

how soapy should the water be and what level of spraying ?
ie all leaves need to be fully drenched top and bottom ?

So I always observed dad using a water sprayer attached to a garden hose with some powdered soap not like as this gets very frothy and another chemical. Will ask him and get back to you but ever since that soap water helps with little bugs and blithes.
I catch my machine rinse water and use that for watering and washing leaves of plants kept indoors. Ppl have always commented they look fake.

You talking about the blue used to whiten clothes?

BTW, looking to try diatomaceous earth for ants and bachac that licking up my squash and cukes. What price should I expect to pay for a pound or so? Dunno how it's sold.

Whiteflies was my biggest problem when growing almost any crop
I bought sivanto prime...costly
But little or no issue with whiteflies now

[pugboy]

i got pyriproxyfen(advance/carib chemicals) to try.
woodbrook seems to have a lot of whiteflies
we always get them esp with peppers

padna grows peppers in westmoorings and has zero issues.

picked first lime today, milestone lol

[De Dragon]

^^ Nice, they juicy?

[Quicksilver]

Good day fellas, I have a lime tree that's bearing but the limes remain small, about the size of a regular lime seed. They would remain that size, ripen and rot on the tree... what could be the problem?

[randolphinshan]

Anyone here has experience in cultivating barbadine ? Is it a crop that is prone to diseases and where sells seedlings?

Aye shakes, how much blue do you use and how do you apply it? Foliar spray?

[jason_79]

Good day. Need help identifying this problem as well as a solution. Citrus tree (orange)

[Hwells]

Hi good night folks. My question is do farmers sell most of their produce or is there wastage.

Basically I see a good number of farmers with 2 acres and over and that is a lot of produce so do you sell it yourself or wholesale it out.

Due to quarantine I got into planting in the 2 lots behind my house with some corn and tomatoes. It's kinda enjoyblable and relaxing. Doing some average even my 2 lots can produce a lot of crops more than I can manage and sell on my own. Kinda looking at getting a supplimental income.

[X_Factor]

Decided to invest in proper chems to do some tomatoes

Have about 25 plants like this planted 3wks
20 about half those in size planted 2wks

[pugboy]

how to treat black soot on lime ?

[cornfused]

Dave what's up Sir.

I am very much interested in such a device to dispense soapy water with a garden hose. I am dealing with some mole crickets but don't want a full chemical solution that would kill the birds that fee on the mole crickets. Thanks

You are asking about a hose end sprayer. Peake Home Store and some hardware stores have them.

[pugboy]

Does the soap kill the mole crickets or just raise them ?
I once tested for worms on a turf and couldn’t believe how many worms appeared with just a bucket of soapy water.

[NR8]

I think it suffocates them. I always thought it just raised them until I very recently found a small infested patch in my yard but didn't have any cypermethrin on hand. A strong soap water mix caused a few of them to crawl out and die. I don't think it works as effectively as the cypermethrin though as I've done it about three times so far and i still see some crawling out afterwards.

Thanks that is what I need. Re soap and mole crickets, a table spoon to a 5 gallon bucket of any soap powder spread over area or where the dug up areas and it will bring them to the surface and kill them.

Home farmers steel or plastic drum for garden crops ? Where is the best price? Barrel man in South ?
