Barrow -

Nyet on scanning a journal article; likewise, re-typing.

Like many journal articles, available in print only.  ILL is your
best bet.   Perhaps, write to the publisher for options.

Thun trials, re-examined | Evidence for Lunar-Sidereal Rhythms in Crop Yield: A Review

Evidence for Lunar-Sidereal Rhythms in Crop Yield: A Review
Nicholas Kollerstrom and Gerhard Staudenmaier
Biological Agriculture and Horticulture, 2001, Vol. 19.  p. 247-259.

In this paper, a re-analysis of research data found significant
lunar influence according to the Thun calendar.

It especially addresses the research of H. Spiess published
in 1990, which refuted the Thun effect.

This paper contains the important literature citations on
moon and plant growth; rhythmic nature of animals and
plants; zodiac rhythms in plant growth; testing the lunar
calendar; biodynamic calendars and crop management;
cosmic influences on plant growth; etc.

It is an essential paper -- in a series -- for the biodynamic
library, in reference to biodynamic calendars, cosmic
influences on plant growth, and planting by the moon.

Here is the journal I cited, Biological Agriculture  Horticulture
It is a primary source of scientific literature on alternative
agriculture.

Biological Agriculture  Horticulture

Current Contents with Abstracts are available online
http://www.bahjournal.btinternet.co.uk/current.htm

Though, the latest issue (Vol. 19, No. 3) which contains
the paper by Kollerstrom and Staudenmaier has not
yet appeared online.   Nonetheless, the Table of Contents
provides title and abstract only.

The Table of Contents to back issues provides a historical
record and access point to the many interesting papers published
in Biological Agriculture  Horticulture.

How to access an article:

Unfortunately, this journal does not provide online papers.
Likewise, few land-grant university library's carry this journal.

We usually tell farmers who wish to obtain a journal article
like this to submit a request through Inter-Library Loan.  Even
a local, rural librarian can put an article request like this into
the system.

Fyi, Section 12.0 of the RGOSVP from ATTRA contains
a list of magazines, newsletters, and journals pertaining to
Organic Farming  Sustainable Agriculture

12.0 Magazines  Newsletters on Organic Farming and
Sustainable Agriculture | Resource Guide to Organic 
Sustainable Vegetable Production

Agriculture, Ecosystems  Environment is the other prominent
journal for alternative agriculture
http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/agee/

For example, Volume 88, Issue 2, February 2002 of Agriculture,
Ecosystems  Environment is a special issue on Soil Health as
an Indicator of Sustainable Management
