[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 7348863, member: 1233"] Is that any different to agrochemicals though, even I know it can’t cost £200 to make 5 litres of fungicide. If, and it’s a very big if, you know what you’re doing, you’ve got the right product and the weather/soil conditions are right they definitely work and actually are cheaper than conventional chemistry. The down side is that not many agronomists understand them and coupled with the fact that suppliers are trying to jump on the bandwagon it’s becoming a recipe for failure. Unfortunately it’ll then give the majority the opinion that they don’t work unfortunately the producers of the decent products will get tarred with the snake oil brush. Personally I think you need to master understanding the results from a Refractometer, sap pH and sap N results as a minimum before you start to think about biologicals. [/QUOTE]
