Re: [compost_tea] Peach Leaf Curl - shhh!



If we go around saying CT kills peach leaf curl (Taphrina, as I recall), the EPA will come down on CT as a bio-pesticide.  

Drive you nuts?  Me too.  The mechanism of shutting down the pathogen is not through a toxic chemical interaction.  The organisms in the tea use the food resources on the peach leaf better than the pathogen does, and thus the "good guys" win.  

Just be careful with terminology, ok?  

We need to hear more results from people's experiences with tea!
