RES: RES: [compost_tea] Pre activating Compost



Thanks Tom.

Nice information on nematodes.

You know I am thinking for the next crop to go with the

new concept of Biofumigation in which you plant a crop

like Fodder Radish or Indian Mustard ( brassicas ) with

a high content of Glycosinolate ( GSL) with high density

like 35 kg of seeds per hectare as a winter crop and then

Plow them under and let the myrosinase enzyme degrade

GSLs into Isothiocyanates (ITCs). Those compounds are

extremely toxic to nematodes and their control is just as good

as a chemical nematicide like Methyl bromide, Vapam, etc…

Hi Jose,
A question on producing chitinase organisms in the worm beds-wasn't chitian
used to kill root feeding nematodes and if so would they hurt the nematode
populations in the worm beds? If they don't hurt the beneficial nematodes
and can produce some insect resistance in the vermicompost I think it will
be great. Please let us know how this goes.
Thank you,
