From scheuers@ava.bcc.orst.edu Thu Jul 20 22:46:14 2000 Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 08:48:22 -0700 From: Steve Scheuerell To: "sanet-mg@cals.ncsu.edu" , scheuers@ava.bcc.orst.edu Subject: Compost tea/extracts research I'm searching for farmers and other researchers that are experimenting with compost tea as a foliar spray or soil drench, especially in regards to plant disease suppression. I am currently working on aerobic and anaerobic compost teas/extracts as part of my plant pathology Ph.D. program at Oregon State Univ. I would appreciate hearing from anybody with experience, good or bad, replicated or not. Thanks for spreading the word.
