Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Apple replant disease had a consistent biotic origin associated with about 30% growth reduction.
- Association Cylindrocarpon-like fungi were a primary cause of reduced apple growth.
- Association Pythium spp. were a primary cause of reduced apple growth.
- Association Cylindrocarpon-like fungi were strongly associated with apple replant disease.
- Association Several indigenous bacterial and fungal genera were positively correlated with apple growth.
- Intervention effect Composted mushroom substrate performed best for apple growth in four countries.
- Mechanism High compost salt content caused phytotoxicity in apple systems.
- Intervention effect Preplant cover crops changed the rhizosphere microbial community of subsequent apple orchards.
- Intervention effect A single preplant cover crop break did not sufficiently mitigate apple replant disease.
- Intervention effect Commercial bioformulates were generally ineffective against apple replant disease.
- Intervention effect Two of ten bioformulates gave the highest apple growth.
- Intervention effect Two of ten bioformulates controlled Phytophthora cactorum attack in apple.
- Intervention effect Preplant soil steam gave promising results for apple replant problems after a one-year field trial.
- Association Phytophthora citrophtora was mainly responsible for citrus degradation in Mediterranean countries.
- Observation Phytophthora attack killed 25% of transplanted citrus plants within two years in a degraded Valencia orchard.
- Intervention effect Preplant treatments did not significantly affect growth of newly planted citrus trees.
- Intervention effect Organic matter before citrus replanting did not completely control Phytophthora attack.
- Intervention effect Organic matter before replanting reduced damage to soil organic matter and biological activity relative to solarisation in citrus orchards.
- Intervention effect Commercial bioformulates reduced Phytophthora citrophtora attack in citrus rootstocks under controlled conditions.
