[compost_tea] Article in this month's Acres USA
Interesting article on compost teas and combining Albrecht method with
biostimulants in this month's Acres USA (November, 2004).
The article is by David Hudson in Britain. There is a nice chart on cost,
revenues and yields comparing: conventional, organic and "bioagronomy"
approaches. "Bioagronomy" is their new term for Albrecht + microbial mixes
applied to soil and foliarly. The author also discusses disease suppression
and prevention.
Yields for Bioagronomy, Conventional, and Organic approaches (potatoes)
were: 23.4 tons/ha, 20.1, 16.0 tons/ha. Profit margin per hectare (ha)
were: 3,815, 2,800, and 3205 British Pounds per ha. The Organic approach
received a large price premium thus increasing its economic benefit.
