Compost Teas: 24 hour, EM, IM, BD & fermented plant extracts

["Jaszewski, Thomas" <tomjasz AT mirage.com>]

I have sprayed my vineyard with CT since the beginning of the season. A few
days ago we noticed some powdery mildew. Not alot but some. 

Any suggestions as to whether the tea should be more fungal or bacterial to
protect the vines against powdery ? 

Should there be a waiting period, and if so how long, prior to applying CT
after using sulfur or Bordeaux ?

Laura,

Before we started using CT we treated powdery mildew with AQ-10 (Amperomyces
quisqualis).

Since brewing CT we have achieved better visual results with CT. Our CT has
been bacterial. We have seen better control as when CT has better fungal
diversity.

Perhaps SFI can address waiting periods with sulfur or Bordeaux.

 Tom
