Soil Aggregation by Microorganisms Following Soil Fumigation
Abstract The influence of autoclaving and of fumigation with eight chemical formulations upon microbial numbers in straw‐amended Peorian loess and the extent to which these treatments affect the degree of aggregation brought about by subsequently introduced inocula were determined. A mixed soil flora,

Integrated management of ginger bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum) in Southwest Ethiopia
Bacterial wilt incited by Ralstonia solanacearum is the most important disease threatening ginger production in southwestern Ethiopia. A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of integrated management methods on bacterial wilt disease and

Sources of nitrogen for winter wheat in organic cropping systems [PDF]
In organic cropping systems, legumes, cover crops, residue incorporation, and manure application are used to maintain soil fertility, but the contributions of these management practices to soil nitrogen (N) supply remain obscure.

Site-Specific Conditions Change the Response of Bacterial Producers of Soil Structure-Stabilizing Agents Such as Exopolysaccarides and Lipopolysaccarides to Tillage Intensity [PDF]
Agro-ecosystems experience huge losses of land every year due to soil erosion induced by poor agricultural practices such as intensive tillage. Erosion can be minimized by the presence of stable soil aggregates, the formation of which can be promoted by ...

Impact of Fumigants on Soil Microbial Communities [PDF]
ABSTRACT Agricultural soils are typically fumigated to provide effective control of nematodes, soilborne pathogens, and weeds in preparation for planting of high-value cash crops. The ability of soil microbial communities to recover after treatment with fumigants was examined using culture-dependent (Biolog) and culture ...

Solarization and biofumigation help disinfest soil
Preplant soil fumigation with methyl bromide is scheduled to be phased out by 2005. Chemical and nonchemical alternatives are being researched and identified. Soil solarization and/or biofumigation can help fill the gap in certain cases.

Directing the Apple Rhizobiome toward Resiliency Post-Fumigation
Currently, there are no standard management practices to counteract the adverse effects of fumigation on the soil microbiome. In this study, a variety of pre-plant soil amendments were examined for their ability to recruit and maintain apple rhizosphere ...
