Small-plant pest defense
Arborjet introduced two new pest-defense products to its Eco-Line lineup for use on small plants. Derived from organic botanical plant oils and extracts, both Eco-Mite and Eco-PM kill and repel target pests, are non-toxic to people and pets and are environmentally safe. Eco-Mite is a contact miticide and insecticide that controls phytophagous mites, eggs and nymphs. It also controls other piercing-sucking insects including aphids, mealybugs, scale crawlers, thrips and whiteflies. Eco-PM is a broad-spectrum contact fungicide that controls diseases such as powdery mildews, botrytis gray mold and phytophthora late blight on common garden and vegetable plants and vines. It also controls black spot on roses and anthracnose, rust and powdery mildews on garden ornamentals. www.arborjet.com SERVICE #47

K600 Pruner
The K-600 pruner is Metallo’s best bypass pruner that cuts material up to one inch in diameter. The handle is designed with a curved grip, and the downward-facing blade keeps the pruner in line with the user’s arm to allow for easy cutting and reduced fatigue. A two-position lock system saves time and hand motion when pruning many like-sized stems. The blade is forged, high-carbon steel and hard-chrome plated, with a wire-cutting notch so it will hold a sharp edge longer. The upper blade is replaceable. The lower counter blade has a built-in sap groove to reduce friction and cleaning time. www.metallo.com SERVICE #50
