Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Composts showed in vitro biopesticide activity against Fusarium oxysporum.
- Observation Only pine bark and urea compost showed an abiotic effect.
- Intervention effect Composts increased melon growth under Fusarium challenge by one to four times relative to non-amended soil.
- Intervention effect Composts did not significantly decrease soil Fusarium levels.
- Observation Authors conclude green composts controlled Fusarium wilt in melon.
