Litchi postharvest physiology and handling

Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 2014-2063, July/August 2024.
Abstract Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) fruit, with its bright red color and sweet and juicy aril, is an important fruit crop in Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America. A major cause of the postharvest loss of litchi fruit is browning and decay.

Integrating Cover Crops as a Source of Carbon for Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation

Agronomy, 2020
The adoption of anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD), a biologically-based method for the management of soilborne pests and pathogens at the commercial scale strictly depends on the availability of effective and low-cost sources of carbon (C).

Impacts of Biofumigation and Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation on Strawberry Production [PDF]

, 2016
Due to the phase-out of methyl bromide, there is a need for alternative, nonchemical fumigation treatments in strawberry production. Anaerobic soil disinfestation and biofumigation are two non-chemical methods for controlling soilborne plant pathogens of

Anaerobic soil disinfestation: a biologically-based solution for sustainable crop production

Frontiers in Horticulture
Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is a novel, eco-friendly method to improve soil health. This method creates oxygen-free conditions by adding organic amendments as a carbon source, saturating the soil to field capacity, and then covering it with ...

Comprehensive Control System for Ginger Bacterial Wilt Disease Based on Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation

Agronomy, 2023
Bacterial wilt is a soil-borne disease that causes severe damage in ginger-growing regions of Japan (eight prefectures in the Shikoku, Kyushu, and Honshu regions). Because the pathogen Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum usually lives in deeper soil and infects

Evaluation of low-cost carbon sources in anaerobic soil disinfestation in suppression of Rhizoctonia root rot in bean

Frontiers in Agronomy
Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is a pre-plant soil rehabilitation method used to control soilborne diseases. However, the high cost of carbon sources remains a major constraint for the wider adoption of ASD in commercial fields.

Mechanisms of Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation: Volatile Fatty Acids Reduce Viability of Athelia (Sclerotium) rolfsii Sclerotia in Acidic Soil Conditions and Have Limited Effects on Endemic Trichoderma spp.

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Volatile fatty acids (VFAs), such as acetic and n-butyric acid, released during anaerobic decomposition of organic soil amendments during anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) likely play a role in soilborne plant pathogen inoculum suppression.
