e0“Growth response of newly planted trees to different soil management (including solarisation, cover crops and organic amendments) and the application of ten commercially available bioformulates (biofungicides, nematocides and biostimulants and active principles) in degraded citrus orchards was not significantly affected by any pre-plant treatments”

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 Preplant composts had variable effects on 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 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.
