The Effect of Aerated Compost Teas on Disease Control in Blueberries and Tomatoes

Summary

This project will look at the effects of aerated compost teas on controlling late blight in tomatoes and Botrytis in blueberries and the subsequent impact on plant vigor and fruit quality. The results of this project combined with those of two other compost tea projects from the area will create a great deal of information for a broad range of crops.
