- Intervention effect Grape marc compost was the most effective growth medium for suppressing Fusarium wilt of tomato.
- Intervention effect Cork compost gave intermediate suppression of Fusarium wilt of tomato.
- Intervention effect Light peat and expanded vermiculite were the most conducive growth media for Fusarium wilt of tomato.
- Observation The growth media evaluated had a pH range of 6.26 to 7.97.
- Observation Both composts had high beta-glucosidase activity.
- Association pH and beta-glucosidase activity as predictive variables explained more than 91% of the variation in severity of Fusarium wilt.
- Observation Cellulolytic and oligotrophic actinomycetes and fungi are microbial populations involved in suppressiveness.
- Observation Ratios of cellulolytic actinomycetes to cellulolytic bacteria, oligotrophic bacteria to copiotrophic bacteria, and oligotrophic actinomycetes to oligotrophic bacteria were measured as suppressiveness-related microbial populations.
- Observation Community structures differed among the growth media evaluated, based on community level physiological profiles.
