Re: Indigenous Microorganisms + Korean Natural FarmingAssociation



hi steve,
i just came from new mexico organic conference over the weekend and back in
town (santa cruz).  i am conducting a short workshop at occidental arts and
ecology this feb. 20 and a full day one at camp joy in boulder creek,
california.  i was thinking, maybe we can collaborate and make the
information available through attra at least for the basic booklet i made.
ecofarm is encouraging that i make a book.  also, maybe you can help me
connect to several conference here in the US where i can present this IMO
technology.  i will be back to the philippines first week of march.  if you
need me contact me at my e-mail address.

regards,
gil

Well, I see the need for a correction to my post.

I emphasized the rhizosphere and the phyllosphere as
places to focus organic agricultural practices like
compost teas and IMO's.

So when I came across the following article, "Endophytic
Microorganisms:  A Review on Insect Control and
Recent Advances on Tropical Plants" I just added it
to my phyllosphere resources.

Yet, endophytic vs ephiphytic didn't sound right on
so I went back and actually read part of this 32-page
article.

Indeed, these are endophytes, they live inside the plant
and colonize internal host tissues, etc.

So, it's not as directly relevant, but still an interesting article
about another group of plant-microbes.
