- Intervention effect Seven days of soil incubation after neem cake amendment reduced damping-off severity in radish.
- Intervention effect Seven days of soil incubation after neem cake amendment reduced damping-off severity in cucumber.
- Mechanism The authors inferred that incubation created a disease-suppressive biological climate.
