Who can find the First HC Leaf Miner?

"...A control avenue of Horse Chestnut were left untreated whilst a parallel avenue of Horse Chestnuts were all treated......"

Its better than thumb twiddling or hair tugging for sure...Just thinking out loud for a moment.....If I was given the choice of avoiding a colleague for the duration immediately following their feeding on garlic...I would frankly. The control outlined does not appear to have a robust enough control imo.

Please remember that the constraints applied to the testing of these and other , so-called "organic" solutions ( excuse the pun) ahead of production and/or more widespread use , has been waived to greater or lesser extent.

Just playing devils advocate for a mo'.........

 

And yes, it would seem that Glynn Percival was claiming that the problem was not beyond the wit of man.....He was tho' fairly clear that the controls needed would have to pre-empt the manifestation of the disease......

As I am the only saddo playing this game, I will retract my first entry as no larvae was in evidence.

 

But here from today is a little wriggler.

You still just get the one beer though...

Does no-one find the emergence of "Conquer" in the market before the literature suspicious?

 

Just like those major branded anti-wrinkle cream adverts on TV with "monoprotopeptides" and "amino creatinatic essences" - Psuedoscientific waffle.

 

On another note, my digging seems to indicate that Allicin would have a considerable market outside of the tree world if only it could be stabilised. If you had such an effective product why try to sell it to tree owners and not drug companies???

Just the one's fine by me.

Postage may be a bit though

Wow is there anything it can't do?

 

Will it get our shirts whiter than white? Train household pets? Boost crop yields in the third world? Change the path of incoming meteorites?

 

Seriously. It's claimed that Allicin "...is a substance which occurs naturally and is one of nature's most effective anti fungal, anti bacterial and anti viral agents. (lets not forget they claim it has insecticidal properties also)

 

So what on earth are you doing wasting it on trees? Its not because there's a market out there with lower evidential standards is it?

 

 

Blood boiling.

And yes, it also wasn't many years ago that H/C Bleeding Canker was said to be caused by Phytopthra spp., and Glynn Percival was subsequently prescribing the use of Propag-8 as a treatment!

 

But hey-ho, such is the nature of research..... it may not be right, but every step brings us closer to the final answer.

 

 

After all, if we didn't push on and persevere, the earth would still be flat and man would never have walked on the moon.
