I have
used Bio-Trek 22G (I think this was isolated at Cornell?)
which contains a strain of the beneficial soil fungus, Trichoderma It seems to me we should be focusing on
diversity rather than trying to isolate specific antagonists. That’s what biological
scientists have been focusing so hard on, how they can isolate, grow, and maximize
profits. They’re missing the paradigm. I remember some years ago when we had a
huge outbreak of root knot nematodes in a multi million-dollar palm population.
I read In “Common Sense Pest Control” that an isolate had been found in tomato
roots that controlled the beasties. I called the research project in New South
Wales. Yes the fungi existed but no scientist had yet figured out how to
produce it. As for me I’ll leave the monocultures to the scientists and work on
natures diversity. Tom Jaszewski www.livesoil.com 702-595-7012 -----Original
