Where can one purchase things like Mycoshield.  Do most people obtain these kinds of sprays on-line.  It would be nice to just get this stuff at the local hardware store, but Kansas (great place that it is) isn't a banner state for fruit production, and stores just don't carry much in fruit sprays, organic or no.

Yes, ferbam is available in the form of Carbamate 76 WDG, but cannot be used in all states.  We think Kocide (copper hydroxide) is a better choice for peach leaf curl as well as other peach problems such as leustoma canker and even bacterial spot if used with Mycoshield since ferbam cannot be used in all states.  Be sure to check your state's Commercial Fruit Tree Spray Guide which is usually available on-line.

Hi all. Ferbam IS available in the U.S. currently. Below are emails with Tamnico rep.

 

I called United Agri Products (UAP) in Colorado. You can call Peter Lane (UAP) at 1. 888. 837. 3426 or 970. 347. 1442 and he can look up who your local UAP contact is. He knows his name is going out on this list. Attached is the spec sheet/warnings/toxicity (please read—it needs to be applied with caution).

 

Also, it is only available at a commercial level which leaves me out, but nice to know that you all with larger orchards still have access!!!

 

On to the next research topic….

Barbara,

 

It is registered under the trade name Ferbam Granuflo. It is sold in 44 lb bags. However, it is not for use by homeowners, only for use by commercial growers.

 

Hope this helps. Attached is the label.

 

Regards,

Hi John!! Thank you so much for getting back to me.  Can the individual homeowner buy Ferbam? Is it sold under any specific name?

 

It was brought up in a discussion on the NAFEX list (North American Fruit Explorers) and was praised highly. What we found on the web was that it was not reregistered and therefore, unavailable.

 

You are making a lot of peoples’ day!!

 

Thanks, Barbara
