Azomite Rock Dust as a Cure for Citrus Blight Disease
Azomite Rock Dust as a Cure for Citrus Blight Disease
J.F.L. Childs
As written in a letter to Remineralize the Earth Editor, Joanna Campe
J.F.L. Childs used Azomite brand rock dust to cure trees affected with Citrus Blight Disease. To his knowledge, those cured are the only ones that have ever recovered from the disease which was reported in Florida in 1870. According to his research, this disease occurs wherever citrus trees are grown, although the name is different in different countries. He has reported research on this disease as follows:

The Effects of Basalt Rock Dust Emissions on Trees in Germany
The Effects of Basalt Rock Dust Emissions on Trees in Germany
Fritz Leipold
Germany
The slope beside the basalt quarry was created during the years 1952-1965, and on this slope the natural effects of basalt emissions on spruce trees were discovered. The material utilized consists of the layers of rock dust that were situated above the basalt and could not be used for production. From 1-6 meters depth of soil and clay were taken out. The planting of the hill with spruce trees began in 1972 and the forester of the region was very skeptical and did not tend the trees.

Men of the Trees in Western Australia
Men of the Trees in Western Australia
Field and nursery trials directed by Barrie Oldfield, President.
Interpreting Results:
Five times the growth for the same species of trees.
The potting out time has been shortened from five months to six weeks.
The fineness of the dust particles is more important than the actual mass of the dust material.
With dust of which 61.9% of has a particle size of 75 microns or less, the beneficial plateau in these trials is in the region of 15-20 tons/ha. At 12 tons/ha the plant growth was markedly inferior.

Forest Growth Increased with Rockdust on Grandfather Mountain near Asheville, North Carolina
Forest Growth Increased with Rockdust on Grandfather Mountain near Asheville, North Carolina
Dr. Robert Bruck
North Carolina State University
500 five-year-old red spruce and fraser fir trees were treated with Planters II rock dust applied at the following rates: 50-gram/pot, 25 g/pot, 10 g/pot, and 0 g/pot. After a 6-month period, observations were made on root color, diameters, height-growth, and survival.
Survival rate of all rock-dusted trees was 100%, versus 87% of fraser fir and 77% of spruce of the controls.
Growth rate increases:
Red spruce were 37, 18, ...
