MYCO PAKSPlace a teabag-like
mycorrhizae pack at the bottom of your
planting hole or pot, next to the roots.
Use one pack for each existing foot in
height of your plant. Mycorrhizal fungi
enable the root system to increase in
size and capacity to absorb the nutrients
already in your soil. Building up your soil
with organic matter allows mycorrhizae
to thrive. It works on all fruiting plants
we offer except for Blueberries, Huckleberries, Lingonberries,
Cranberries, Filberts and Oaks. T185: 75 cents each; Package
of 10: $3.50; Pkg of 30: $7.50; Pkg of 100: $20
Organic Apple Maggot Control
APPLE MAGGOT CONTROL BAGS Protect your Apples
and Pears from Apple Maggot
infestations. While thinning to
one per cluster, usually in May or
early June, slip the opening of the

cover the new, ideally nickel size
fruitlet. The bag will fill with the
growing fruit and protect it. This
product has been used succesfully
here at Raintree and by many fruit
hobbyists. They are quick and easy
to use! Includes Instructions! These
new heavier weave bags provide
extra codling moth protection. Contains 144 bags. T167: $12.50
Biological Pest Control
SPINOSAD Spinosad is a mixture of metabolites derived
from a common soil bacterium. When contacted, caterpillars
(including codling moth, apple maggot, plum curculio, and
currant worm) and thrips are quickly paralyzed and controlled.
Apply spray 2-4 weeks after bloom, repeat at 10-14 day
intervals up to 6 times per year. This is a broad spectrum quick
acting insecticide, most useful when there is a high level of
infestation. Properly timed applications will not be harmful to
bees and other beneficial insects. One pint makes 8 gallons of
spray. T177 (One pint concentrate): $19.95
SAFER BIONEEM BOTANICAL INSECTICIDE Derived from
the seed of the Neem tree and effective against currant worm,

intervals. Covers up to 6,000 sq. ft. T172 (16 oz. concentrate):
