Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Dr. Olaf Ribeiro's company, Ribeiro Plant Lab Inc. which consults "lawn and tree service companies, tree fruit growers, vegetable growers, forest seedling nurseries and ornamental nurseries." Describes Ribeiro's methods which are holistic and follow the spirit of integrated pest management. Discusses Ribeiro's cooperation with Neil Wolbert to solve a problem of severe tree stress at the Washington state capitol. Explains that Wolbert wanted to use Powder Blue Nitroform and Ribeiro favored Subdue metalaxyl fungicide. States that "together, they decided to add Subdue to a tank mix of Powder Blue Nitroform, Supertrace chelated multimineral nutrients, SoilSeeds microbial inoculant and Plant Success soluble mychorrhizae." Concludes "though it's possible that a few younger trees with severe root injury may yet succumb, it is expected that the formula worked out by Wolber and Ribeiro will be an overall grand success." |
