Pest control oil
BioWorks announced the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) has approved SuffOil-X Spray Oil Emulsion for use in organic production. SuffOil-X controls insects, mites and foliar fungi, including powdery mildew, in a broad range of vegetable, nursery, ornamental and greenhouse crops. It works by suffocating eggs, larvae, and nymphs of adult soft bodied insects and mites. SuffOil-X is a unique concentrate of pre-emulsified, highly refined, high paraffinic low aromatic oil. Its pre-emulsification enables the product to dilute easier with water and more thoroughly than other horticultural spray oils, without requiring rigorous agitation to keep the mix in suspension. SuffOil-X has excellent compatibility with pesticides labeled for use with oils, and has a 4-hour Restricted Entry Interval.

Dripline
The ¼-inch Soaker Dripline from DripWorks is complete with emitters factory installed inside the tubing. The dripline is available in 6, 9 or 12 inches. You measure and cut the lengths needed. With the 9-inch spacing, you can use it for beds up to 22 feet long. With containers, a ¼-inch elbow at the top of each container makes a neat installation. You can shut off individual lines by using a ¼-inch manual valve (Vari-Flow) into the mainline tubing instead of the transfer barb. Watch installation videos on our Web site.
