Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Does anybody know where B. Cepalia is found? I know this is a weird question, but I read that the EPA has ban its use. What was it used for? Does anybody know? How common is it? Well if anybody knows it would be greatly apreciated.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 I take it you mean B. Cepacia (burkholderia cepacia). It was a bacteria discovered in rotten onions (ok--that's kinda scary--seems like I often have one of those around!!!!!!!!), and it was discovered to be a good " natural " pesticide. It was a relatively widely-used pesticide in some areas for awhile, and certain companies in the US tried to get it to be used here, but it's health hazards became well-known and it was pretty much blocked from use. http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m1200/1998_Nov_7/53280910/p1/article.jhtm l http://junkscience.com/news2/goodbugs.htm http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/normap/bcepacia.htm (LOTS of good links to articles) http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~tcoenye/cepacia/ B.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 I did not even know this. Thank you for all this info, I don't think we will ever have " any " onions in our house anymore. How do you pronounce this, with a " soft C " or a " hard C " k " ? Just curious. Thanks, Deana Mom to 12 ncf and 6 wcf Re: B. Cepalia.... I take it you mean B. Cepacia (burkholderia cepacia).
