Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Intercropping with cowpea, soybean or Welsh onion did not affect soil pathogen populations.
- Intervention effect Urea and CaO amendment reduced soil pathogen populations significantly.
- Intervention effect Urea and CaO amendment reduced tomato bacterial wilt significantly.
- Intervention effect Amendment failed to reduce pathogen populations in soil from two other sites.
- Intervention effect At those sites, amended fields had no significant reduction in wilt.
- Intervention effect CaO alone significantly reduced soil pathogen populations.
- Intervention effect Complete amendment produced greater pathogen reduction than CaO alone.
- Intervention effect Urea alone did not affect soil pathogen survival.
- Intervention effect Amended greenhouse soil had undetectable pathogen after two weeks.
- Intervention effect Soil amendment reduced tomato yield by 48% relative to non-amended treatment.
- Mechanism Authors attribute pathogen suppression to toxic products of urea transformation with CaO.
