Compost Tea Induces Growth and Resistance against Rhizoctonia solani and Phytophthora capsici in Pepper

Compost teas (CTs) are organic solutions that constitute an interesting option for sustainable agriculture. Those come from garden waste have been applied in vitro and vivo on pepper plants to determine its suppressive effect against both Phytophthora capsici Rhizoctonia solani. The studied CT showed relevant content NO3?, K2O, humic acids, microorganisms such as aerobic bacteria, N-fixing actinobacteria, which play a role plant growth resistance. This rich abundance of microbiota the induced reduction relative rate P. R. solani (31.7% 38.0%, respectively) assays compared control. In addition, CT-irrigated displayed increased parameters first open flower one week before those treatments without CTs, suggests application advanced crop cycle. Concerning pathogen infection, damage caused by pathogens became more apparent with one-week inoculation four-week inoculation, may indicate microbiological chemical balance had reached cope biotic stresses. Based these results, we conclude induces defense because soluble nutrient richness, provides novel point nutrition protection horticultural crops.
