RE: [compost_tea] Fungal coverage on Potato leaves
Title: Message
Elaine: When you say 5% molasses concentration, do you mean to use
5 Kg of molasses with 95 litters of water. It is a lot of molasses. The
solution will get really thick.

Fungal
foods need to be used to help the fungi get established.
You
might also look at the pesticide load in the air. Do you have residues
of copper sulfate on the leaves?
A good spreader-sticker might
help. Which one? Can we please get some folks trying high
concentrations of molasses again?
Now that the silliness about
molasses, or "sweetners" causing E. coli to grow has been put to rest, we need
to get back to using molasses to help stick our organisms to the plant surface
again. When you use blackstrap, non-sulfured molasses at concentration
above 3 to 5%, we enhance fungal growth, reduce anaerobic bacterial growth,
and improve the stick of the organisms to the leaf surfaces.
