[Market-farming] Sources for BT for potatoes and economical NEEM (?)

There used to be an organically approved Bt (can't think of the name right now), but it the approval was later rescinded, according to a rep from the company that made it.  I can't speak for anything for conventional production.  What are you looking to control?  Entrust will control CO potato beetle.  One treatment of Entrust, followed with a buckwheat companion that attracted beneficial predators, kept the CPB under control in my eggplant last year.  I plan to get buckwheat in earlier this year, to see if we can get along without the Entrust.

Johnny's used to have the potato BT, but I don't see it this year. 
Jeez, I didn't know that they've made a GMO "BT Potato" I'd like to 
have a small bottle on hand for this season, just the same. ;-)

Also, good source for good neem?

Thanks -Allan in Shepherdstown, WV
