The same type of research is needed to screen
OMRI-approved materials for control of soybean
rust.

Organic disease control products:

"Plantshield is a formulation of the beneficial fungus
Trichoderma harzianum labeled for foliar and soil drench
applications."

"Mycostop is a formulation of the beneficial actinomycete
Streptomyces griseoviridis labeled for seed treatment,
potting soil amendment, and drench applications."

"Trilogy is a neem oil extract labeled for disease and mite
control on a variety of fruit and vegetable crops."

"Champion WP is a fixed copper fungicide widely used
for control of fungal and bacterial pathogens."

"CaCO3 is hypothesized to provide high calcium base saturation
levels to the soil, supporting plant resistance to
insects and diseases."

"SW-3 is a cold processed homogenized kelp product that
is advertised to maximize plant growth and root development
through the action of macronutrients, trace elements,
cytokinins, and betaines."

"Humega is a liquid humic acid derivative that is advertised
to increase the availability of micronutrients, promote
soil aeration and water penetration, and enhance
the photosynthetic rate of plants."
