July 2010. An organic dragon fruit farmer reported that an Erwinia disease has destroyed many farms in Borneo, Malaysia, recently. Does anyone know how to cure using methods that would be acceptable to organic production?

A member wrote that Erwinia soft rots can become more serious when crops are receiving excessive amounts of nitrogen or phosphorus. However, the grower was aware of that. Also, BIMO (beneficial indigenous microorganisms) was being tried, pruning, and experiments with shade.
