Suffoil-X Registered for Greenhouse Ornamental Uses

Jun 25, 2018

Flowers Canada is pleased to announce the recent registration of Suffoil-X (mineral oil 80%). This product has long been desired by growers seeking an efficacious and biocompatible solution to many pests of ornamental crops. Suffoil-X controls melybugs, spider mites, scales, thrips and whitefly nymphs and deters aphid feeding. Suffoil-X can be applied both as a foliar spray and a cutting dip. The label is available for review here.

Flowers Canada would like to thank Bioworks, Health Canada and Agriculture Canada's Pest Management Centre (PMC) for their efforts to register this product. Suffoil-X was selected as a priority for registration through the PMC in 2011!

For more information on this or other ornamental registration activities please contact Cary Gates at FCG anytime (Cary@fco.ca, 519-836-5495 X228)

Video: What is Anhydrous Ammonia and Why Do We Use It?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
