Just some more sharing of the wealth here: A couple lists of organic controls for pests and/or diseases in the garden.  (Although this is NOT an endorsement of Johnny's Select Seeds, all of these items are available there like "one-stop-shopping"....if you have need.)  Anyways, here's the lists...

Organic Insecticides

Entrust® (#9068) is particularly effective against Colorado Potato Beetles. It is a Spinosad that can be used alternately with Bt or Pyrethrin to reduce the chances of creating resistant insect strains.

Dipel® (#9713) is the natural choice for caterpillars. It is a Bt formulation used to control gypsy moths, tent caterpillars, cabbage loopers, tomato
hornworms, leafrollers, and more. It is harmless to humans, animals,
and beneficial insects and can be used on vegetables, fruits, flowers,
ornamentals, and lawns.

Pyganic® (#9532) is a pyrethrin spray that provides rapid knockdown and broad-spectrum kill of more than 40 greenhouse and outdoor insect pests including flea
beetles, leafhoppers, tarnished plant bugs, and thrips. It can be used
on over 200 fruits and vegetables and can be applied up to the day of
harvest.

Safer® Insect Soap (#9370) contains no petroleum additives. It is made of fatty acid salts and is safe for bees, birds, animals, and humans. Use to control aphids,
whiteflies, and spider mites on fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals.

Sluggo® (#9370) molluscicide kills snails and slugs organically, while fertilizing your soil. It is a unique blend of mollusk bait and iron phosphate which is
a naturally occurring soil mineral that breaks down into fertilizer. It
is labeled for use near many types of vegetables, fruits, berries, and
ornamentals.

Organic Fungicides

Actinovate® (#9900) contains a high concentration of beneficial bacterium and is a very effective spray for foliar diseases or drench for root diseases. It can
be used up to and including the day of harvest and is labeled for most
fruit, vegetable, field, and grain crops.

Champ® WG Copper Fungicide (#9778) is a broad-spectrum fungicide which can be used as a preventative measure or at first sign of disease.

MilStop® Foliar Fungicide (#9702) is a potassium bicarbonate fungicide that kills mildew on contact. Good to use at or before the first sign of disease. Especially effective for
Late Blight when alternated with Oxidate.

Mildew Cure® (#9835) is an effective treatment for powdery mildew on most crops, including vegetables and flowers.

Oxidate® (#9719) is a treatment for the prevention and control of plant pathogens in field-grown crops and commercial greenhouses. It can be used as a
pre-plant dip, soil drench, foliar treatment, and surface disinfectant
and is effective against a wide range of diseases. Oxidate is a great
choice for alternating with another fungicide to prevent tolerance
buildup of the target pathogen.

All the controls listed above are OMRI listed and are intended for use in organic production.
