  Thanks for the info Elaine.
  Yes we will let you know how things progress. The recommendations coming =
through from AG dept etc is to use fungicide in the fertiliser followed up =
with 2 applications of fungicide in growing season! This will be expensive =
and no guarantee of success. Using CT will be a lot cheaper and more effect=
ive especially in the long term as beneficials are built up.

    Hi -

    Yes, you are on the right track. As soon as the wheat is harvested, ge=
t out there with at least 15 gallons of tea per acre. If you think the tea=
 might be weak on the fungi, increase the tea applied to 20 or 25 gal per a=
cre.

    Then roll the wheat seed in tea with mycorhrizal spores, or drip the te=
a with spores into the planting row in front of the seeds as they drop. =
 

    Then apply the tea at 5 gal per acre at first true leaf stage, then jus=
t before flowering and then just after seed set. If you know when the spor=
es of the rust are blowing, then apply weekly during that time, if you can.=
 

    Please let me know how it goes!
