e0“the stunting and yellowing of kidney bean plants observed in monoculture plots were due to a root rot complex caused by Pythium spp. and Fusarium spp.”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Repeated monoculture significantly reduced kidney bean height, aboveground biomass, pod number, seed yield and seed size relative to six-year rotation.
- Intervention effect Average kidney bean seed yield in monoculture was 970 kg/ha, a 59% loss against six-year rotation.
- Intervention effect Pythium damping-off incidence in kidney bean was highest in bean monoculture soil and lowest in six-year rotation soil.
- Intervention effect Pythium damping-off incidence in sugar beet was highest in bean monoculture soil and lowest in six-year rotation soil.
- Observation Fusarium yellow of kidney bean was detected at 87% frequency only in bean monoculture soil.
- Intervention effect Pseudomonas isolates from healthy bean roots suppressed damping-off pathogens.
- Method / resource The soil testing method was judged useful for studying soilborne pathogen and beneficial microorganism activity in restricted microplots.
