Pheromones are chemical signals emitted by insects and other organisms that enable the organisms to communicate with other members of the same species. Pheromones are sometimes referred to as “perfumes,” particularly those pheromones used to attract members of the opposite sex for purposes of mating. In insect control, pheromones can be used to attract insects to traps or they can be applied in artificially large amounts over a crop to so confuse insects that they fail to find mates and thus fail to reproduce. Pheromone traps are used to monitor for the pressence of pests, as control tools to capture insects, as confusants to disrupt insect mating and as lures to attract insects to insecticidal baits. Pheromone lures are packaged individually or in airtight jars. minimum Order: 10 Lures

The Kiwigold Raspberry, ‘Rubus ‘Kiwigold’ (PP11,313), is a sport of Heritage that was found in New Zealand. The beautiful yellow fruit is of good size, quality and color. All reports indicate that Kiwigold is a much better performer than Fallgold. Clusters of white, 5-petaled, rose-like flowers with yellow anthers give way to peach-yellow raspberries of excellent eating quality. Its shelf life is superior to any other yellow variety and it doesnt crumble. It ripens in August producing large berries with a distinct flavor. The berries are versatile and can be used as fresh fruit, in preserves, or in pies and pastries. Raspberries may be grown successfully at an elevation as high as 7,000 feet. They do best in full sun on non-alkaline, fertile loam soil. However, they may be grown in partial shade or under other environmental constraints. Natural protection against strong winter winds are provided in some valleys, but in other areas it is necessary to provide artificial protection during winter months. Although a well-drained soil is essential for success, a sandy soil will need to have plenty of organic matter incorporated in preparation. Raspberries need a plentiful supply of moisture throughout the growing season. Raspberries take little space and live for years. Birds also love the fruit, so you may have to share the harvest.
