Long-Term Effect of Biological Soil Disinfestation on Verticillium Wilt [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2004
Biological soil disinfestation (BSD), involving incorporation of grass combined with plastic mulching, eliminates many soilborne pests and diseases through the creation of anaerobic conditions. BSD was compared at two locations with a nontreated control, Italian ryegrass amendment alone, and plastic mulch alone.

Evaluation of Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation for Environmentally Sustainable Weed Management

Agronomy, 2022
In anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD), soil amended with a carbon source undergoes anaerobic conditions accompanied by changes in microbial community composition and an increase in the concentration of organic acids, primarily acetic and butyric acids ...

Brewer’s Spent Grain with Yeast Amendment Shows Potential for Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation of Weeds and Pythium irregulare

Agronomy, 2023
Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is a promising alternative to chemical fumigation for controlling soilborne plant pathogens and weeds. This study investigated the impact of brewer’s spent grain (BSG), a locally available carbon source, on various ...

Differentiation of the Foliar Microbiomes From Co-Occurring Grass Species Reflects Their Recency of Invasion. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examined the foliar fungal and bacterial microbiomes of two co‐occurring invasive grasses, recently introduced Oplismenus undulatifolius and long‐established Microstegium vimineum. Oplismenus communities exhibited lower diversity within samples and greater turnover between samples.

Analysis of Environmental Variables and Carbon Input on Soil Microbiome, Metabolome and Disease Control Efficacy in Strawberry Attributable to Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation

Microorganisms, 2021
Charcoal rot and Fusarium wilt, caused by Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae, respectively, are major soil-borne diseases of strawberry that have caused significant crop losses in California. Anaerobic soil disinfestation has

Biomass crops can be used for biological disinfestation and remediation of soils and water [PDF]

California Agriculture, 2008
Many plants that are candidates for refining into biofuels also possess qualities that make them potentially useful for managing soilborne pests, reclaiming polluted soils, supplementing animal feed and other purposes. Phytoremediation with these plants may provide a practical and economical method for managing the movement of trace elements into water

Anaerobic soil disinfestation: A chemical-independent approach to pre-plant control of plant pathogens

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2015
Due to increasing regulations and restrictions, there is an urgent need to develop effective alternatives to chemical-dependent fumigation control of soilborne pests and pathogens. Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is one such alternative showing great

Amendment Properties Affect Crop Performance, Leaf Tissue Nitrogen, and Soil Nitrogen Availability Following Soil Treatment by Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Efficacy of anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) for soilborne plant pathogen suppression is strongly influenced by soil environment and organic amendment attributes.
