Sunn hemp (SH), Crotolaria juncea, is known to suppress Rotylenchulus reniformis and weeds while enhancing free-living nematodes involved in nutrient cycling. Field trials were conducted in 2009 (Trial I) and 2010 (Trial II) to examine if SH cover cropping could suppress R. reniformis and weeds while enhancing free-living nematodes if integrated with soil solarization (SOL). Cover cropping of S...

The combination of biofumigation and solarization is known as bio-solarization. An experiment was performed from 2003 to 2019 in a greenhouse at INTA San Pedro, Buenos Aires province, Argentina (33°44'12.7"S 59°47'58.2"W). Treatments (TRAT) were applied every two years. TRAT evaluated were: 1=Control; 2= Solarization, 3= Biorot, succession organic amendments (chicken manure, broccoli, chicken t...

to evaluate the effect of soil solarization on common lambsquarters control (chenopodium album l.), an experiment was conducted at the research farm of college of agriculture, university of birjand.the factorial experiment was performed as a randomized complete block design with three factors including the number of clear plastic layers (uncovered as the control, 1-layer and 2 –layer plastic sh...

today, due to the problems caused by herbicide application, there is a strong interest in developing alternative methods of weed control. to study the effects of soil solarization, barley straw mulch on weed flora, a field experiment was conducted at research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad during the growing season of 2007-2008. this experiment was based on a ...

sugar beet cyst nematode (heterodera schachtii schmidt) is transferred to sugar factories along with the sugar beet root and its surrounding soil, so called depot soil. because of high infestation and the possible transfer and distribution of this soil, disinfestations of the depot soil should be taken into considerations. in order to assess the possibility for disinfestations of the depot soil...

Meloidogyne incognita eggs or J2 were incubated in test tubes containing sand:peat mix and immersed in a water bath heated to 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 degrees C for a series of time intervals. Controls were maintained at 22 degrees C. Nematodes surviving or hatching were collected from Baermann trays after three weeks of incubation. Regression analyses between percent survival or egg h...

The area planted with avocado crops in Colombia has been growing rapidly recent years, especially for export varieties such as Hass. increase coincided increased phytosanitary problems, where pathogens fungi of the genus Verticillium spp. are becoming economic importance. objective this study was to evaluate different control strategies wilt disease caused by spp., under vitro, net house, and f...

Field experiments were carried out at JUST agricultural research center during 1999-2000 growing season to evaluate the effects of soil amendment with olive mill by-products (Jift) on growth of faba bean and their symbiosis with VA fungi. Soil was amended with Jift at different levels (Jift: Soil; 0:10, 1:9, 2:8, 3:7 and 4:6) and exposed to solarization, methyl bromide and fungicide treatments....
