Ineke:
Recent compost demonstration projects funded by the California 
Integrated Waste Management Board found mixed results--brown rot 
on Elegant Lady peaches in Fresno was suppressed on compost amended 
plots the first year.  Harry Andris, UC Cooperative Extension, was lead 
researcher.  There wasn't much brown rot at all the next year so 
results were inconclusive.  Marc Buchanan found some disease 
suppression using compost on onions as part of the Monterey Bay Region 
trials.  The full reports can be downloaded from the Publications 
list at http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov.   A four-page overview fact sheet of 
all five projects is available online too.
