RE: [compost_tea] Re: AH fungal counts, NOSB



 Kirk,

 

I attended "The New Organic Agriculture Standards - Satellite Program" today at the WSU Learning Extension.  The two hour program featured a look at the new USDA standards for organic crops. It was an opportunity for viewers nationwide to watch the first of two satellite broadcasts focused on the National Organic Agriculture Standards and the implications they pose for Extension Agents, state and national certification staff, consultants and others involved in the production of organic commodities.

 

One of the experts on the team was Miles McEvoy who works for the WSDA's Organic Food Program as an inspector and program manager.

He helped establish the National Association of State Organic Programs

(NASOP) and is their President.

 

I posed the question to the panel on the use of compost tea and Miles McEvoy responded.  He said that compost tea can be used if it was free of pathogens.  He also said sugar and molasses can be used in compost tea.

<Has anyone heard from NOSB on the new compost tea task force?  Other than

late Feb notice, there is no news.  We gotta get USNOP to approve compost

tea.  Any NOP without it would be silly.  Please speak up.>
