INTENSIVE spray

Our Intensive Spray is applied throughout the growing season. Starting with a dormant application. A bulk of these sprays take place in the Spring time when trees are most vulnerable to pests and disease. It supplies pre- and pro-biotic support for the foliage. It is basically laying a blanket of beneficial microorganisms and minerals on the fruit trees. There are NO synthetic chemicals in our sprays. Intensive Spray coverage includes 5 Sprays throughout the season (mostly in the Spring to prevent disease).

What’s in the intensive Spray?

-Fish Hydrolysate: Feeds soil and arboreal food web. Also provides a  nitrogen boost (first half of season)

-Kelp: Full of trace minerals. Promotes growth, helps trees adapt to stress, improves fruit quality and shelf life.

-EM-1:  “EM” stands for “effective microbes.” A probiotic inoculant that colonizes the branches and fruit with beneficial microbes to promote fruit growth and disease resistance. It also assists with photosynthesis uptake.

-Neem Oil: Contains Azadirachtin compounds that deter pests and disrupt their life cycles. Neem also stimulates trees’ immune systems, gives nutrients to foliage and feeds the arboreal food web. Also used to manage apple borers.

-Karanja Oil: Enhances immune-boosting phytochemistry of the spray mix, deters foliar-feeding pests (such as aphids), without affecting pollinators. Works synergistically with neem.
