Re: [compost_tea] Truth or Fiction
To get some desease resistance the plant must change
geneticly. Then select the resistant strain that
developed while under stress. If you enoculate a large
number of plants, sooner or later one will appear that
is desease resistant. Of course you loose a lot crops
in the mean time. I'm sorry it doesn't work that way.
