Our guest this morning on Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem was Ronald Lane of Circadian Crop Sciences. Ronald found his company and is the CEO, but all this is a retirement job following a long academic career in agriculture and crop science.

Circadian has several products, all of which are designed to present alternatives to traditional and chemical pest control. Scalable from home gardens to big farms, these products offer least-toxic yet proven effective pest control and plant stimulation. As they say on the company web site, "when used as directed, pests are controlled and plants thrive."

This podcast presents the original KSFO broadcast minus most of the ads and all of the music.
