Does Organic Production Enhance Phytochemical Content of Fruit and Vegetables? Current Knowledge and Prospects for Research (2006, background): “Considering the interest in utilizing soil inoculants such as compost tea (Quarles, 2001; Scheuerell and Mahaffee, 2002) and effective microorganisms (Daly and Stewart, 1999) in organic production, the indirect infl uence of soil biology on phytochemical production also warrants further study.”
Suppressive effect of non-aerated compost teas on foliar fungal pathogens of tomato (2010, methodology): “The most widely described benefit of compost teas is their ability to decrease plant disease when used as soil drenches or foliar sprays (Scheuerell and Mahaffee, 2002, 2004).”
Use and understanding of organic amendments in Australian agriculture: a review (2011, background): “Compost teas or extracts are liquid OA used as a source of plant macro- and micro-nutrients, as a vector for beneficial microorganisms, and to control pests and diseases (Scheuerell and Mahaffee 2002; Hargreaves et al. 2009a, 2009b).”
Control of Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria alternata and Pyrenochaeta lycopersici on tomato with whey compost-tea applications (2012, positive): “In fact, there are a number of reports that demonstrate the ability of compost tea to suppress a wide range of both air- and soil-borne plant pathogens, when applied as foliar spray and soil drenching (Scheuerell and Mahaffee, 2002, 2004).”
The Role of Uncomposted Materials, Composts, Manures, and Compost Extracts in Reducing Pest and Disease Incidence and Severity in Sustainable Temperate Agricultural and Horticultural Crop Production—A Review (2004, background): “The term “compost extract” has been used in the literature to define water extracts prepared using a wide range of different methods (Scheuerell and Mahaffee, 2002).”
The use of compost in urban green areas – A review for practical application (2006, background): “However, the effect of compost extracts on plant diseases may depend on a diverse set of factors, and these have to be subjected to more research before the use of such compounds can be an integrated means combating plant diseases (Scheurell and Mahaffee, 2002).”
Relative effects of biological amendments and crop rotations on soil microbial communities and soilborne diseases of potato (2008, background): “…teas, produced by mixing compost with water and other ingredients in various ways and incubating (or ‘‘brewing’’) for defined periods to extract or enhance the microorganisms, have had some success in suppressing disease and increasing crop growth (Scheuerell and Mahaffee, 2002, 2004, 2006).”
Natural Plant Products as Eco-friendly Fungicides for Plant Diseases Control- A Review (2016, background): “These products may have fungicidal or fungistatic activity on plant pathogens or they can create conditions unfavourable for establishment and multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms on host plants (Scheuerell and Mahaffee, 2002).”
From yogurt to yield: Potential applications of lactic acid bacteria in plant production (2017, background): “Other compost teas with undefined microbial communities have been effective biocontrols of numerous fungal pathogens (Scheuerell and Mahaffee, 2002; Martin, 2014).”
