|PAT quality check=Yes
|PAT Name=Compost Tea
|PAT Picture=Compost Tea.jpg
|PAT Type Alternative=Alternative Methodology
|PAT Description=Compost tea is a liquid extract or a dissolved solution but not simply a suspension of compost. It is made by steeping compost in water for 3–7 days. It was discovered in Germany and became a practice to suppress foliar fungal diseases by nature of the bacterial competition, suppression, antibiosis on the leaf surface (phyllosphere). It has also been used as a fertilizer although lab tests show it is very weak in nutrients with less than 100ppm of available nitrogen and potassium. Other salts present in the tea solution are sodium, chlorides and sulfates. The extract is applied as a spray to non-edible plant parts such as seedlings, or as a soil-drench (root dip), or as a surface spray to reduce incidence of harmful phytopathogenic fungi in the phyllosphere.

|PAT Manufacturers=Sustainable Agricultural Technologies, Inc. (http://composttea.com/)
|PAT Technology Development Level=Pilot projects and first implementations;

|PAT Maintenance=Low: Technology to be maintained through its life cycle requires less common tools and/or training is required for maintenance;
|PAT Infrastructure=Low: Technology can be developed with less common tools, low development level supporting technologies and moderately trained personnel; Education and training required;
|PAT Required Resources Manufacture=Metal, plastics, electronics, air pump;
|PAT Required Resources Operation=Electricity;
|PAT Deployment Level=Local availability;
|PAT Deployment Capability=The technology can be deployed worldwide;
|PAT Requirements for Deployment=The technology can be widely deployed but resources or material supply and distribution chains are required; Education and training required;
|PAT Relevance Autonomy=High;
|PAT Environment Impacts=Low: no direct emissions (when operated with renewable energies) but indirect emissions; Composting emits CO2, CH4 and N2O, so a composting method with low emissions should be selected;
|PAT Bio-Cybernetic=Yes;
