I rather ask some of you all who have experience with this because taking advice from idiots at plant/agri shops hasn't done me or my plants so well.

Also looking for some of the tall blue plastic barrels to store water in if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I am not aware that they are selling ladybugs in Trinidad. Can you post a picture? You can spray with Golden pest spray oil. It is made with soya oil and is approved for organic application. You can call MAFAS at 360-1986 or 354-9666 for more solutions. What it does is smothers the pest and leads to their demise.

Give nos-specialist a check. He also has IBC tanks. Barrels are usually 55 gallons and IBC 250 gallons.

Do not diss the guys at the agro shop. Some of the underlings just looking for employment with money and not interested in learning.

Much appreciated, thank you! I'll look into the Golden pest spray oil and check in with nos-specialist for the barrels.

The agri shop people I dealt with were old people who seemingly owned/ran the place but I hear you though. I just rather get advice from people who've actually done these things or dealt with them first hand.

And btw - I did get the info on historical prices and volumes sold at the Macoya market going back quite a few years off that site. They doing some great stuff over there, hope they can keep it up.

I used some chicken manure on some young citrus crops and they dried down. Any way they can be saved ?

some chicken farmers spray the chicken pens with diesel in between batches.
also the type of sawdust used can cause problems
u have to be careful where u get manure from

Chicken manure is not something to administer to plants so easily...some are filled with all kinda chemicals....post a pic of affected plant...most likely you won't be able to salvage anything..

Mixed cow manure is usually the way to go...costly but worth it

i do hot composting of chicken manure. It kills all pathogens and gets the manure ready in fast time

What's the best treatment for leafminers, I have some tomatoes and peppers infested with it. I tried rouger and dianazon with little success, even tried bemizan and caprid as well. Any other recommendations?

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » April 23rd, 2018, 7:23 am

Caprid shoulda work
Newmectin, also advance

Diazinon would wash off easily

Try cure...expensive no arse...but works well

lalloboy101 · Postby **lalloboy101** » April 23rd, 2018, 9:18 am

I tried cure in the earlies too, it was expensive . Being neem based, I thought it would have have worked but not.

First for me bro....best you carry a leaf to an agri shop

GRIM · Postby **GRIM** » April 23rd, 2018, 1:42 pm

u can try emvap or trivap for leafminers
the only time ive come across cure/newmectin not working is if its been used over a long period of time as most pest build up a resistance over time

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » April 23rd, 2018, 4:01 pm

did you use any surfectant to help the liquid stay on leaves ?

There is an expensive one used on citrus since those tend to have waxy leaves which dont absorb chemicals well.
