Hello,

I work for the State of California, Integrated Waste Management Board. I'm
involved in a program that promotes the use of municipally derived compost
to landscape and agriculture.

We're toying with the idea of pitching municipally derived compost to
California potato producers. I would like to review and assemble any
technical information
showing the benefits of compost on potato production, (disease suppression,
yield, reduced pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer use, etc.).

I was hoping you could point me in the direction of the literature (if
available). If the literature looks promising, we would develop a fact
sheet and meet with potato producers.

Thanks for you help.

Sincerely,

Steve Storelli
