Re: [compost_tea] Re: SuperThrive & Gmelina



Kirk - I'm new to this forum and didn't realize the answer to a particular person's question was also sent to the server.  I'll be more careful in the future pasting comments from research papers. 
 
The response was in answer to a question about what is in superthrive and the Philippine paper suggested that it contained at least one known hormone.  I don't have an Organic agenda, just a concern for the sustainability of agriculture and certain knowledge that composts are a big part of the answer.  I do believe that discussions of organic production should be based, to the extent knowable, on reasonable conclusions.

David -- On page 40 of your treatise, it said

"CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONUnder the experimental conditions described,
the studies conducted demonstrated that it is possibleto mass propagate
Gmelina even without using expensive rooting hormones and that in order
thatthe clones can grow and stay healthy, fertilizer application is
necessary. The simple experimentsalso suggest the influence of genotype on
rooting ability and early growth performance. It istherefore important that
before any attempt to mass propagate the species en masse
preliminaryscreening on rooting ability and consequent clonal tests should
be conducted."

I guess I appreciate the information, and may have a similar problem with my
space bar, But Huh?  I think you may be running on forests too far... And
what
does this have to do with compost tea?  Most of us here are into seeds, vs
genotypes and clones, per se.  Which "fertilizer application" do you mean?

Other news in your SuperThrive abstract excerpt seemed not particularly good
and I'm wondering why you copied us.  What's your organic message here?
