What does that mean to balance of power among the Soil foodweb (rhizosphere) and Foliage foodweb (phytosphere) microbes?
Will application of milk solution then feed Serenade?
https://www.basf.com/group/corporate/en/brand/SERENADESerenade is a microbial biological control agent based on Bacillus subtilis which protects against fungal and bacterial plant pathogens. Bacillus subtilis strain QST 713 is a naturally occurring widespread bacterium that can be used to control plant diseases including blight, scab, gray mold, and several types of mildew. Regulatory authorities in USA and Europe classified Bacillus subtilis QST 713 as displaying no adverse effects on humans or the environment.
What happens to the lactobacillus you were hoping to culture? (will they be able to gain foothold or will they be out competed by the denser concentration of Serenade bacteria) Are they the same microbes? -- is Serenade a special strain....?
Similarly or actually, AACT would contain or should contain a vast diversity of microbes. Again, vs. a dense concentration of single organism.... Pure speculation -- many of the AACT cultured microbes will fail to prosper, and possibility that some predatorial microbe(s) will prey on Actinovate....
https://www.epa.gov/opp00001/chem_search ... Nov-09.pdfStreptomyces lydicus strain WYEC 108 is a naturally occurring bacterium that is commonly found in soil environments. It is thought that the bacterium works by colonizing the growing root tips of plants and parasitizing root decay fungi (such as Fusarium, Pythium, and other species). The bacterium may also produce antibiotics that act against these fungi.
https://www.agriculturesolutions.com/ind ... Itemid=113Streptomyces lydicus strain WYEC 108 is a saprophytic rhizosphere colonizing Actinomycete. It was isolated from the roots of a linseed plant in an area that exhibited a natural suppression of soil pathogens. Under proper conditions (moisture and temperature) the Streptomyces spores will germinate and begin forming mycelia that will attach to the root system of the host plant.
Do the two "products" work synergistically or will they {what's the opposite of "synergistic"?}. Anything sprayed on the foliage will fall to the ground, especially to the drip line where the most actively dividing root cells are....
What do you think?
