I viewed with sadness the KPBS UCSD show on research to date on
sudden oak death. It's caused by a new strain of fungi (species
escapes me at the moment). It's spread apparently by transmition of
wood, soil between trees, possibly through rain containing spores
which splash between trees and the fact that it infects multiple
types of trees in the same forest. Pretty scary. It would seem to
be a soil borne fungi so perhaps a tea spray on stress trees might
help to prevent it.

Does anyone know if ACT's have shown any effectiveness or have been
tried against SOD?



------------------
The fungus is called Phytophthora ramosum.
 
Please talk with George Hahn of WormGold, _geohahn1_at_juno.com_

or
 
Carole Ann Rollins, Nature Technologies, _info_at_nature-technologies.com_
(mailto:info_at_nature-technologies.com)


Regardless of what may have been said about either of these folks in the
past, both have useful experimental testing going on with SOD.
 
Each person can decide by talking to George or to Carole Ann whether the
work they are doing is going to tell us something about SOD and compost tea.
There is no need to air PERSONAL relationship problems on this list serve.
