Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Tubers from wetter compost were more resistant to P. infestans than those from drier compost at 78 days.
- Observation Wet compost extracts did not inhibit P. infestans growth.
- Intervention effect Bintje tuber internal tissue from wet compost was as susceptible as that from dry compost.
- Observation Potentially antagonistic fungal genera populations did not differ between wet and dry compost tubers.
- Association Surface bacteria on Bintje tubers increased under wet compost as the experiment progressed.
- Association Surface bacteria on Bintje tubers decreased under drier compost.
- Association Surface bacteria on Cara tubers stayed similar under drier compost.
- Intervention effect Wet compost tubers had significantly more surface bacteria at 78 days.
- Observation Up to 16.7% of sampled tuber surface bacterial isolates inhibited P. infestans growth.
- Association Soil moisture did not significantly affect the proportion of bacteria antagonistic to P. infestans.
- Mechanism Greater numbers of antagonistic surface bacteria may explain the greater blight resistance of wet compost tubers.
