It would be helpful to see the web source or
print source that this came from.

As I recall they used the Growing Solutions machine.

One of the reasons the CTTF report ended up with
a conservative approach to compost tea use -- yet
also allowed compost teas to be used with best
management practices and lab testing -- is this
kind of situation.

The researchers used a commercial tea brewer with
accompanying additives supplied by the company
and followed user instructions. 

The results emphasize that in the real world there
is a wide spectrum of brewing conditions and potential
pathogen problems.  Thus, guidelines help establish
parameters that reduce pathogen risk...  and allow
compost teas to proceed as an approved practice. 

I would like to see more funding for compost
tea research, and I would also like to see
stakeholder input into research design and
protocal.  A study that includes several of
the prominent labs as well as multiple farm sites
in various agro-climatic regions would be useful.
