Prevention of Soil Borne Pests in Organic Edible Ginger
نویسندگان
چکیده
○ Background Production of organic ginger Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Japanese variety, is subject to serious economic loss from several soil borne pests. The plant parasitic root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita is a persistent pest for ginger production in soils worldwide. Pathogenic bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum, which causes “bacterial wilt” of ginger, has become a serious threat of economic loss for Hawaii ginger growers.

Accepted : May, 2010 Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merill] is an important edible oilseed crop of Maharashtra, mostly grown in Marathwada region and continues to be the major source of protein and edible oil in the world. It yields more protein per hectare than most other crops and accounts for more than 63% of high protein meal and 28% of the total edible oil supply worldwide (Golbitz, 2000). The ...

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are widespread in agricultural fields and help suppress crop pests. These natural enemies may be hindered by certain agronomic practices associated with conventional agriculture including the use of pesticides. We tested whether the abundance of EPF differed between organic and conventional fields, and whether specific cropping practices and soil properties were cor...

The complex molecular assemblages were analysed in the soil gas phase after applying pine forest wastes (PFW) or sugarbeet vinasses (SBV) for soil-borne crop pests' management. For this purpose, solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) and gas chromatography (GC) were used coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). The organic wastes were applied either to Calcic Entisol or Haplic Arenosol moistened at fi...

Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is a proven but relatively new strategy to control soil borne pests of horticultural crops through anaerobic decomposition of organic soil amendments. The ASD technique has primarily been used to control soil borne pathogens; however, this technique has also shown potential to control plant parasitic nematodes and weeds. ASD can utilize a broad range of carbo...
