Effect of formulated composts in biocontrol of root rot fungi and root knot nematodes on tomato in Egypt
International Journal of Nematology 18 (2), 191-197
Abstract: Composts offer the potential to reduce the severity of plant diseases caused by soil borne plant pathogens such as Fusarium solani, Pythium ultimum, Rhizoctonia solani and parasitic nematode as Meloidogyne incognita. Organic fertilizers (composted manure and organic sources of nitrogen) were incorporated in field soil using three types of compost. All treatments decreased the number of plant parasitic nematodes and soil borne pathogens. The most effective for control was cattle compost, followed by poultry compost and then pigeon compost. Organic composts supply both major and minor nutrients for the plant and improve the physical condition of the soil. Control of plant diseases provided by composts is largely due to the increased beneficial microorganisms and organic components.
