1) Did they test specifically for pathogens, or only for E Coli in general? 2) In how many different locations, and in how many different years, did they run the tests? 3) Do they know of other studies done in this area, and what were the results of those studies? 4) Have they themselves done, or are they doing, other studies in this area? If any others are completed, what were the results? 5) Were all results from all studies they know of published, or only selected studies and/or results? If only some, what were the selection criteria? 6) What were the climate and weather conditions? 7) What were the soil types? 8) What was the organic matter content of the soil, and what was its other nutrient balance? 9) Had the plots previously been organically managed or conventionally managed? For how many years had they been so managed? If they had not been in farm use, what was the previous use for the past few years? 10) Were the plots conventionally or organically managed during the trial? 11) What was applied to the plots during the trial besides the manure and seed? (including all soil amendments, pesticides, any sterilization techniques?) 12) What had been applied to the plots during the previous couple of years? 13) What tillage and harvest techniques were used? 13) What, if any, tests were done to determine what other life (bacterial, fungal, worm, etc) was in the soil? If any were done, what were the results? 14) In addition to soil life, what living creatures had access to the field during the trials? 15) Was irrigation used? If so, what was the source of irrigation water, and what if any tests were done on it? That should do to go on with . . . (I should note that at least some of this may well be answered in the study itself. If little or none of it is addressed in the study, that would be a huge red flag in itself.) -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale |
