nutrient amendments (to ensure the growth of specifi c groups of benefi cial microorganisms)
and the use of spray adjuvants can signifi cantly enhance the disease-suppressive properties
of compost teas. Further work is required to optimize the use of such additives for use in
specifi c cropping systems. The development of compost tea application systems that are
especially suited to deliver live microorganisms (e.g. drenching and spraying equipment)
may also help to enhance the disease-suppressive properties of compost teas.
