Mind you, this story comes from California where they can grow stone fruit 
well, but I read that someone found that 3 tons to the acre of compost 
controlled brown rot in peaches.  I would suspect that spraying the trees 
with compost tea would slow it down considerably.  What we really need is a 
commercial culture that either colonizes the fruit so brown rot can't take 
hold, or actually attacks the fungus.    Donna
