Greetings all
The jury has returned and it appears that AACT is not the guilty party in
this saga.Leaf tests came back with very high Boron levels.This would give
the growth characteristics that we saw.The question is now ,could AACT make
unavailable B suddenly become available? Soil tests will be done post
harvest as the ones available were from two different labs and a year apart
with no indication of methods used so comparsions were proberly not worth
much.All comments will be appreciated.
Mealie bug has become a problem in this area this year,and I was wondering
if there have been any biological control that list members might have
tested.Good or bad comments would be great .We have used citrus oil, neem,
nicotania extract and dormant oil ,all with a fair amount of success but a
specie specific bio product would be nice .Maybe something to add to AACT at
some point....Perhaps replies should be sent to me off the list or if there
is enough support then on the list .
 Thanks in advance
BTW Hi_Yeild ,my dogs keep peeing on that same piece of grass and it still
refuses to go brown.Strange what some bugs can do . Weird grass should be my
next post.....
