Dart's Farm 

Integrated Pest Management

At Dart's Farm- by growing disease resistant varieties that grow well in Central New York we eliminate the need for pesticide and fungicide applications. Additionally we use herbicide sparingly combined with mowing to control weeds. This results in more affordable trees that are safe to bring into your home during the holidays. Our integrated pest management approach ensures you will not be bringing pesticide and fungicide residues into your home.

 

Additionally in spring of 2008 we have begun to inoculate all of our newly planted seedlings with ectomycorrhizal fungi during planting. This group of beneficial fungi help spruce and fir trees establish faster and resist drought and disease- these beneficial fungi will follow the plant for their entire life and the benefits will be transferred to you- the consumer.
