Applications Included: 8 Dormant Oil/Disease Control Description: A winter-time application of dormant oil and disease suppressant as a preventative measure. Benefits: Helps to control pests and disease during the overwintering and dormant stages to prevent damage from occurring on tender spring growth. Timing: JAN. FEB. Shrub Fertility Description: Application of organic fertilizer to shrub areas. Benefits: Promotes vigorous new growth and blooms on plant material. Timing: FEB. MARCH Spring Insect/Disease Control Description: Organic foliar spray application for insect and disease controls.

3 earthsense PHC EarthSense Treatments Continued Summer Insect Control Description: Organic foliar spray application for insect control. Benefits: Provides added protection against damaging insects during the summer months further strengthening the health and vigor of the landscape. Timing: JUNE SEPT. Deep Root Fertility Description: Provides an application of nutrients and mycorrhizae injected directly into the tree s root zone to be absorbed and stored for use during spring growth. Benefits: Delivers nutrients directly to the tree s root zone. More nutrients are immediately available to the tree compared to a surface application where much of the plant nutrients can be lost. Mycorrhizae promotes development of a fibrous root system enhancing the absorption of nutrients and water. Timing: NOV. DEC. Compost Tea Description: Spray application of beneficial micro-organisms and bio-stimulants to soil surface. Benefits: Beneficial organisms provide breakdown of nutrients to improve availability to the plant. Best results when used with the turf fertility program. Applications Included: 5 Foliar Feed Description: Organic foliar spray application of nutrients to give landscape a quick green-up. Benefits: Perfect application to be done before parties or events to give your landscape an extra boost. Lawn Aeration and Seeding Description: An annual aeration and over-seeding of your lawn is the best, most cost-effective and environmentally-friendly way to maintain a healthy lawn. Benefits: Because of the heavy clay content of valley soils, compaction is a problem, preventing oxygen from reaching the roots of the grass plants, causing the plants to develop shallow roots and making the plant more susceptible to drought, heat and disease stress. Timing: Recommend SPRING or FALL aeration and over-seeding for all lawns in the Willamette Valley.
