The Biodynamic Association has launched its second citizen science research project:
To explore whether a mix of biodynamic preparations called FG4 can help control fungal diseases in vineyards, rose gardens, and vegetable crops, and reduce the need to use copper sprays or fungicides

We’re inviting biodynamic, organic and conventional growers throughout the UK (and beyond!) to take part.

The preparation is provided free of charge to participants who will spray part of their crop and report back to the BDA as part of our shared learning and practical research with real-world trials.

FG4 is a permitted input to organic and biodynamic systems, so trials will not threaten certification status. No derogation is required.

To read about people who have tried FG4 and their results, visit https://buff.ly/Bwhetmy
If you would like to get involved or find out more, please contact: [email protected]

Thank you for sharing with everyone who might like to be a part of this.
