Although I tend to agree that using any compost tea's on a plants as a foliar spray may have more disadvantages than advantages. Namely that eventually the beneficial microbes die off, and the remaining food (compost) becomes food for any pathogens and bacteria. But I would like to know how you come to the conclusion that it contains "ammonium" at all, much less large amounts? As well as how you determine that it affects spores and fungal growth at all? Or how long it would be effective for? I need to look it up again, but if I remember correctly, surfer and/or copper foliar sprays tend to work best of fungal problems on foliage. Well other than UV light. Though UV light may not be feasible in many situations, like other than on small plants.
