2018 Product Catalog PRODUCT 2018 CATALOG SEEDS BOOKS PLANTS SOILS TOOLS DRIP IRRIGATION BENEFICIAL INSECTS ECOLOGICAL PEST CONTROL ORGANIC FERTILIZERS SOIL AMENDMENTS CONSULTING SERVICES WELCOME TO OUR ANNUAL CATALOG A BRIEF HISTORY Founded in 1980 by Kate Burroughs and David Henry, Harmony Farm Supply was a pioneer in the Organics Movement as a supplier of organic fertilizers, ecological pest controls, and Intergrated Pest Management monitoring tools. In 1982, irrigation system components were added to the offering. In 1990, Harmony Farm Supply moved to its present location where it added a Nursery as well as more products (including Photovoltaic Solar products). Since then, Harmony Farm Supply has been the leader in providing CCOF Certified Organic vegetable starts. In 2007, Kate and David decided that they wanted to be growers rather than retailers. They sold the business to Rick Williams in July of that year. Rick and his wife Leah are committed to carrying the “sustainable” baton.

DRIP MINI SPRINKLER Formerly known as EFCO, Ein dor or Eintal Minisprinklers, these minisprinklers operate on a principle which provides for equal wetting over the entire delivery diameter. The spray is in the form of heavier droplets which emerge horizontally to cover a full circle and work better in wind than other minisprinklers. When water is shut off, the eye falls back into the socket, thus sealing it against dirt or insects. It is self-cleaning due to the dynamic operation caused by the rotating needle in the sprinkler orifice. No deposits can accumulate. Good for iron or other heavy mineral water. Can be used in any position including upside-down (for use in greenhouses and tree irrigation). To make a complete minisprinkler, order a sprinkler head, based on desired gallonage and diameter, a coupler cantal, a microtube, and your choice of an iron rod and an iron rod adapter or a plastic stake. You must have 4 or 5 pieces to make a functional minisprinkler. COMBination Stakes: 17” will hold MINI-SPRINKLER HEADS: either drip hose or spaghetti tubing.

Its capacity to produce compounds such as food additives, supplements, and organic acids, among other fine chemicals, has turned it into an attractive microorganism in the biotechnology field. In this review, we performed a robust phylogenetic analysis using the core proteome of C. jadinii and other fungal species, from Asco- to Basidiomycota, to elucidate the evolutionary roots of this species. In addition, we report the evolution of this species nomenclature over-time and the existence of a teleomorph (C. jadinii) and anamorph state (Candida utilis) and summarize the current nomenclature of most common strains. Finally, we highlight relevant traits of its physiology, the solute membrane transporters so far characterized, as well as the molecular tools currently available for its genomic manipulation.

P. Arunkumar 3, Sanju Paul Kurian 4 1, 2,3,4. Department of Mechanical Jay Shriram Group of Institution Tirupur-638660 Abstract— Conventionally digging a deep holes or larger diameter holes requires more work and rime.so in order to reduce this losses we are planning to design a post hole digger machine for Kamco Tera-trac 4W tractor. Post hole digger machine is used to reduce the man work and time for digging holes. These holes can be used for fixing electric post and different plantation such as rubber plant, coconut, sugar cane etc. For rigid power and support, machine is attached to Kamco Tera-trac 4W tractor by means of PTO (power take off) shaft and three point linkage. PTO shaft of the tractor act as a basic power input and three point linkage provide a rigid support to the machine. Guarded shaft is used to transfer power from PTO shaft to the digger machine. Blades are provided at the end of the machine is used foe digging holes. Various type of holes can be created by using different diameter and length of blades. For designing Post hole digger machine, Creo parametric 1.0 software is used. Creo is 3D mechanical CAD software in which Drafting and assembly can be done easily.

  • The Broadfork
    The BroadFork Many gardeners and growers, especially those working on heavy soils, face the difficulty of deeply compacted soil and want to loosen and aerate it without bringing lower layers to the surface. On a field scale there are tractor-based solutions, but how to tackle the task in the smaller plot? The BroadFork is designed to be at least part of the solution! (The Glaser Bio cultivator (414) has the same objective.) Here are some of Eliot Coleman’s comments from his book The New Organic Grower:– “This two-handled deep tillage tool is known by different names, but broadfork comes as close to describing it as any other. Like most agricultural tools its genesis surely dates far back in agricultural history. It consists of a 2-foot wide spading fork with a 5-foot-long handle at either side of the fork. The teeth on the fork are spaced 4 inches apart and are about 12 inches long . The tines are designed with a parabolic shape and curve down from an attachment point at the back of the crossbar. This difference is the key. The parabolic curve . works with an easy, rolling motion. As the handles are pulled down, the tines curve under and lift the soil easily. “The broadfork is held with the handles tilted slightly forward of vertical. It is pressed into the soil as far as possible by stepping on the crossbar, then the two handles are pulled back towards the operator in an easy rocking motion. The broadfork is then lifted from the loosened soil, the operator steps backwards 6 inches, and the manoeuvre is repeated..

  • Flea Control in Cats Where Did My Cat Get Fleas? the Most Common Flea
    Flea Control in Cats Where did my cat get fleas? The most common flea found on cats and dogs is the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), although any species of fleas, including fleas from rabbits, squirrels or other wildlife, can be found on cats. The most important source of cat fleas is newly emerged adult fleas from flea pupae in your house or yard. Adult fleas live, feed and mate on our pets; the female flea lays eggs that fall off into the environment where they hatch into larvae. The larvae eat organic debris until they mature into pupae. The pupae are encased in a sticky cocoon, helping them to camouflage in the environment and making them difficult to eradicate. Adult fleas will not emerge from the pupae until they sense an animal nearby to feed on. Newly hatched adult fleas jump onto a host animal to complete their life cycle. Two days after eating a blood meal from the host, the female flea begins to lay eggs. Under ideal conditions, the flea can complete its entire life cycle in as little as two weeks; in adverse conditions, the fleas within the pupae remain dormant, and can wait as much as a year to hatch, when conditions are more desirable. Homes with carpets and central heating provide ideal conditions for the year-round development of fleas. The highest numbers of flea eggs, larvae and pupae will be found in areas of the house where pets spend the most time, such as their beds and furniture. Even though fleas may be in your house, you probably won't see them.

  • Domestic Dogs Are Mammalian Reservoirs for the Emerging
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Domestic dogs are mammalian reservoirs for the emerging zoonosis fea-borne spotted fever, caused by Rickettsia felis Dinh Ng-Nguyen 1*, Sze-Fui Hii2, Minh-Trang Thi Hoang3, Van-Anh Thi Nguyen1, Robert Rees4,5, John Stenos2 & Rebecca Justine Traub4 Rickettsia felis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that is being increasingly recognized as an etiological agent of human rickettsial disease globally. The agent is transmitted through the bite of an infected vector, the cat fea, Ctenocephalides felis, however there is to date, no consensus on the pathogen’s vertebrate reservoir, required for the maintenance of this agent in nature. This study for the frst time, demonstrates the role of the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) as a vertebrate reservoir of R. felis. The ability of dogs to sustain prolonged periods of rickettsemia, ability to remain asymptomatically infected with normal haematological parameters and ability to act as biological vehicles for the horizontal transmission of R. felis between infected and uninfected feas provides indication of their status as a mammalian reservoir of this emerging zoonosis. Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular alpha-proteobacteria, maintained in nature through arthropod vectors and the vertebrate hosts they infect. Vertebrate hosts capable of developing rickettsemias, termed reservoir hosts, in turn, allow new lines of arthropod vectors to acquire infection. Except for epidemic typhus caused by Rickettsia prowazekii and transmitted by the human body louse, humans represent accidental or end-stage hosts for these agents and play no role in their life cycle. Rickettsia felis URRWXCal2 is being increasingly implicated as an important cause of non-specifc febrile illness in humans globally1–3.

  • (S)-Methoprene to Wasmannia Auropunctata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Michelle P
    Palatability of baits containing (S)-methoprene to Wasmannia auropunctata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Michelle P. Montgomery1, 2,*, Cas Vanderwoude1, and A. Jasmyn J. Lynch2 Abstract Wasmannia auropunctata Roger (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), little fire ant, is recognized as a serious pest ant species that affects agriculture, homes, gardens, and natural ecosystems in Hawaii, USA, and elsewhere. Anecdotal evidence suggests that insecticidal baits containing (S)- methoprene are not effective against this species. We examined whether W. auropunctata is repelled by bait formulations containing this compound and whether the addition of torula yeast (Candida utilis Lodder; Saccharomycetales: Saccharomycetaceae) increased palatability of these baits. Wasmannia auropunctata was found to be repelled by (S)-methoprene concentrations as low as 0.25% regardless of formulation. The addition of torula yeast (3% by weight) significantly increased worker recruitment to baits with and without (S)-methoprene. Our results indicate bait formulations using (S)-methoprene are likely to offer poor efficacy against Wasmannia auropunctata without the addition of a feeding stimulant such as torula yeast due to repellency of the active ingredient Key Words: little fire ant; Tango™; protein adjuvant; recruitment Resumen Wasmannia auropunctata Roger (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), hormiga pequeña de fuego, se reconoce como una especie plaga de hormiga plaga que afecta seria a la agricultura, los hogares, los jardines y los ecosistemas naturales en Hawai y en otras partes. La evidencia anecdótica sugiere que los cebos insecticidas que contienen metopreno-(S) no son eficaces contra esta especie.- Exa minamos si W. auropunctata es repelido por formulaciones de cebo que contienen este compuesto y si la adición de levadura de torula (Candida utilis Lodder; Saccharomycetales: Saccharomycetaceae) aumenta la palatabilidad de estos cebos.
