    Insect Control, Soil Questions

    Kasem,

    Increase the organic matter and drainage of the soil by amending with a compost and sand mixture, follow up with our Soil Food Select 6-2-2, you might also want to look into adding potassium to the soil . For your thrip problem you can use our Organic Insecticide mixed with water and spray the entire crop or you can use our Anti Fuego Soil Conditioner and take care of the thrips and enrich the soil with the molasses and humate that is in the mixture. To rid the fungal problems we have a product called Potassium Bicarbonate which when mixed with water will take care of fungi and will be harmless to the plant or fruit. Make sure the plants are getting enough water from the drip system, mulch around the plants if needed to retain soil moisture. Once the crop has died out till the plants into the soil to help increase the organic matter. Hope this helps out.
