TIF film, substrates and nonfumigant soil disinfestation maintain fruit yields [PDF]

California Agriculture, 2013
A 5-year project to facilitate the adoption of strawberry production systems that do not use methyl bromide initially focused on fumigant alternatives and resulted in increased use of barrier films that reduce fumigant emissions.

Insights for Soil Improvements: Unraveling Distinct Mechanisms of Microbial Residue Carbon Accumulation under Chemical and Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation

Agronomy
Soil disinfestation has been widely used as an effective strategy to improve soil health and crop yield by suppression of soil-borne plant pathogens, but its effect on soil organic carbon (SOC), a crucial factor linked to climate change, remains unknown.

Evaluation of a Steam Application by a Mobile Applicator for Soil Disinfestation in Strawberry Nurseries

HortScience, 2022
Soil disinfestation with steam has been evaluated in strawberry fruiting fields as a nonchemical method of soil disinfestation; however, little is known about the use of steam for field production of strawberry daughter plants.

Impact of ozonated water disinfestation on soil fungal community composition in continuous ginger field.

PLoS ONE, 2022
This study aimed to explore the impact of ozonated water (OW) disinfestation on soil fungal community composition in continuous ginger field. All soil samples were collected in continuous ginger field. There were two groups and 5 time points (0, 1, 3, 5,

Two Distinct Soil Disinfestations Differently Modify the Bacterial Communities in a Tomato Field

Agronomy, 2021
Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) and soil solarization (SS) were evaluated based on environmental factors, microbiome, and suppression of Fusarium oxysporum in a tomato field soil.

Anaerobic soil disinfestation with ethanol or sucrose reduces the viability of Meloidogyne javanica and Stromatinia cepivora

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2023
Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is an ecological alternative to chemical soil fumigation. However, little is known about the potential of this technique for the management of Meloidogyne javanica and Stromatinia cepivora. To test the hypothesis that

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 ...
