RESEARCH TRIALS
Purity Feed's in-house agrologist Robson Rogan is on the forefront of the fight against the Tussock Moth and Spruce Budworm. Purity Feed working in conjunction with Dow Agro are conducting 80 - 100 acre research trials with promising new eco friendly insecticide that according to Robson has been very effective in initial trials. When I asked him what the name of this new product was...he just smiled. Apparently we will have to wait a bit longer for official announcement.

TerraLink Horticulture Soft Launches Earth Link Program

Terra Link Horticulture is in the process of launching a new program to capitalize on the growing trend of eco-friendly products. The program is supposed to include a full line of products to meet the needs of landscapers while maintaining a high level of environmental accountability. Once fully developed, the Earth Link program claims it will include customer information on product content, application, expected release, weather reaction, and even environmental footprint. TerraLink believes that Landscapers will benefit from their new program by marketing themselves as progressive and environmentally conscious, and includes signage, advertising and statement stuffers with the program.
