Elaine: When you say 5% molasses concentration, do you mean to use 5 Kg
of molasses with 95 litters of water. It is a lot of molasses. The
solution will get really thick.

Subject: Re: [compost_tea] Fungal coverage on Potato leaves
Fungal foods need to be used to help the fungi get established.
You might also look at the pesticide load in the air. Do you have
residues of copper sulfate on the leaves?
A good spreader-sticker might help. Which one? Can we please get some
folks trying high concentrations of molasses again?
Now that the silliness about molasses, or "sweetners" causing E. coli to
grow has been put to rest, we need to get back to using molasses to help
stick our organisms to the plant surface again. When you use
blackstrap, non-sulfured molasses at concentration above 3 to 5%, we
enhance fungal growth, reduce anaerobic bacterial growth, and improve
the stick of the organisms to the leaf surfaces.
