Mycorrhizal inoculants
PRO-MIX PUR Powder and PRO-MIX PUR Granular inoculants contain contaminant-free mycorrhizae and provide growers improved nutrient and water uptake, increased plant survival rate, resistance and crop vigor. From Premier Tech Horticulture, the company says the two products come with one of the highest mycorrhizae concentrations available in the market. PRO-MIX PUR can be used for fruit and vegetable transplants, and greenhouse vegetable and medicinal crops. SERVICE #44


Hose nozzle

The 1000PL-N Green Narrow Soft Flow Water Breaker from Dramm allows for direct, soft watering in the greenhouse or nursery. It’s ideal for edge watering, containers and earlier stages of growth, and can also be used for watering baskets automatically. The water breaker has a focused pattern that ensures water gets through the canopy but not disturb the media in the container. SERVICE #45


Photosynthesis meter

The miniPPM from EARS Plant Photosynthesis Monitoring measures chlorophyll fluorescence, a weak optical signal emitted by the plant. Growers can use the meter to determine plant health, such as whether a crop is stressed from excess light or water shortage, or if a weed is dying off. The measurement takes less than a second. For those who conduct research there are advanced models. The miniPPM-300 automatically measures a complete photosynthesis-light curve and produces a corresponding measuring report. SERVICE #46


 Fungicide
Orvego fungicide from BASF contains a combination chemistry that combats all major downy mildews and Phytophthora species during the infectious stages. Fighting pathogens with dimethomorph and ametoctradin as active ingredients, it has shown fungicide cross-resistance and is labeled for use on production ornamentals in greenhouses, lath houses, container and field nurseries and interior spaces. SERVICE #47


Moss, mold and mildew treatment
GreenCleanFX Moss, Mold & Mildew Treatment is an outdoor, hard-surface treatment that eliminates unsightly moss, mold and mildew. From BioSafe Systems, the treatment controls the growth of odor-causing and slime-forming bacteria. An organic alternative to chlorine-bleach, heavy metal copper and phosphate-based products, it will not harm nearby plants, shrubs or trees. There is also no risk of overspray. To apply, hook GreenCleanFX Moss, Mold & Mildew Treatment up to a hose for application on concrete, pavement, deck, roofs, sidings, outdoor furniture and more. SERVICE #48


Fungicide
Medallion WDG is the replacement of Medallion WP from Syngenta. The new fungicide has been reformulated from a wettable powder in a water-soluble bag to a new water-dispersible granule formulation known. Medallion WDG offers broad spectrum activity, and Syngenta says it’s the only fungicide in its chemical class. It protects and slows development of diseases such as alternaria, botrytis, rhizoctonia, fusarium, sclerotium and cylindrocladium spp. SERVICE #49


Distance remote
The Roam XL Long Distance Remote from Hunter is designed to let professionals communicate with multiple controllers from up to two miles away. The remote features a simple user interface, with 128 different programmable addresses. Its signal is strong enough to go through buildings and still communicate with a controller that is more than half a mile away. It can reach up to two miles when nothing is in its path. Compact and high-powered, Roam XL Long Distance Remote is a single unit that can be carried from job to job and used to remotely access any Hunter controller that has a SmartPort connector.
