Abstract/Contents: | "The potential disease suppressive characteristics of composts are becoming well recognized, and the subject is receiving increasing scientific research. New interest is also evident in the use of liquid extracts of compost for disease control. These compost teas - also called watery compost extracts - should not be confused with use of leachates collected from compost sites, although the latter may also possess nutrients and fungacidal properties. They also should not be equated with compost humic extracts, compost microbial starters and other similar preparations. As undestood in this report, which discusses potentials and pitfalls, compost teas refer to a more deliberate production of specific extracts based on composts of known properties and usage." |
