[compost_tea] Re: Any Comments or reply to this?
Hello-
While reading Michael Harvey's post, I realized I had heard many times
that CT should not be applied in the middle of the day, or the
organisms might not survive the UV radiation. If you spray the tea in
the morning, how are the organisms able to survive on the leaf later
on in the day in the hot sun? I hope someone can clarify this point
for me. Thanks!

It was noted by the grower and myself that we had made an error in
application of the CT. The grower was diligent in picking up the CT
early in the morning to spray in the cool of the morning however we
realised afterwards that the last of the spray was going out in the
middle of the day. This would result in damage to the Microorganisms
due to UV radiation etc. This was particularly significant since the
area that was sprayed last, (at midday usually), was the area where
the outbreak occurred.
