RE: [compost_tea] Early Microbbrewers and apples



Hi Eric,

 

Several of us in the fruit club have been using compost tea on our orchards for the first

time this year, as a foliar spray and/or soil drench. 

 

As of now, no member who has used it on apples has reported seeing any scab.  What we have

seen is vigorous shoot growth, cleaner fruit, good fruit sizing, less insect pressure,

and larger, greener, shinier foliage. 

 

There will be further reports as the season progresses.

Any early version Microbbrewer (1999-2000) users out there?  I'm
looking for discussion on improvements that might be made to increase
aerobic organisms and decrease cleaning time.

I'm organic orcharding with compost teas and would like to speak with
anyone who has had experience with teas and apple diseases, primarily
apple scab.

Also, does anyone have a recommended psi (pounds per square inch) setting that will allow high survival of organisms through a mist
blast (fan dispersed) sprayer?
