Effects Of Soil Solarization And Organic Amendment Treatments For Controlling Meloidogyne Incognita In Tomato Cultivars In Western Anatolia, Gali̇p Kaşkavalci Jan 2007

Effects Of Soil Solarization And Organic Amendment Treatments For Controlling Meloidogyne Incognita In Tomato Cultivars In Western Anatolia, Gali̇p Kaşkavalci

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The efficacy of soil solarization, Dazomet, chicken manure (CM), olive processing waste (OPW), and soil solarization in combination with CM or OPW or half doses of Dazomet against Meloidogyne incognita on tomato cultivars was investigated in greenhouses in western Anatolia, Turkey, between 2002 and 2004. The maximum soil temperature average was increased 47.1 °C by soil solarization alone at the 15 cm soil depth of soil in the first year. Soil solarization alone and in combination with CM increased the mean of maximum soil temperature by 41.2 and 40.9 °C respectively, at the 15 cm soil depth in the second …

A total of 163 bacterial strains isolated from tomato leaves were evaluated for their ability to suppress gray mold (Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr.) on tomatoes, and 4 strains consistently reduced the incidence of B. cinerea. These antagonist strains were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens. The bacterial strains with in vitro resistance to fungicides were combined with low-dose fenhexamid in vivo. One strain of P. fluorescens (Pf163) reduced the disease incidence by an average of 78% on tomato plants inoculated with B. cinerea in greenhouse trials. In comparison to the control treatment, other P. fluorescens strains applied with low-dose fenhexamid reduced …
