Rust
Thanks for the info Elaine.
Yes we will let you know how things progress. The
recommendations coming through from AG dept etc is to use fungicide in
the fertiliser followed up with 2 applications of fungicide in growing season!
This will be expensive and no guarantee of success. Using CT will be a
lot cheaper and more effective especially in the long term as beneficials are
built up.

New Life Soils,
Hi -
Yes, you are
on the right track. As soon as the wheat is harvested, get out there
with at least 15 gallons of tea per acre. If you think the tea might
be weak on the fungi, increase the tea applied to 20 or 25 gal per
acre.
Then roll the wheat seed in tea with mycorhrizal spores,
or drip the tea with spores into the planting row in front of the seeds as
they drop.
Then apply the tea at 5 gal per acre at first true
leaf stage, then just before flowering and then just after seed set.
If you know when the spores of the rust are blowing, then apply weekly
during that time, if you can.
Please let me know how it
goes!
