“…However, the applied digestates did not seem to be unstable enough to produce VFAs at a sufficient level to produce complete weed inactivation as observed in other studies . Other factors such as different microbial communities harbored by each digestate could also have affected weed inactivation. Considering that amendment type was a significant determinant of weed seed inactivation for both weed species alongside the finding that SMD amendment decreased weed mortality, caution must be used in biosolarization with digestate amendments.…”

“…To address this, biosolarization combines organic soil amendments with solarization to increase pesticidal activity. Enhanced pest inactivation may be due to multiple effects, including (i) additional heat generation from biological activity in soil , and (ii) the production or release of (biotoxic) compounds, such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs) or ammonia − from the amendments; (iii) competition with the microbial community introduced through soil amendment, and (iv) colonization of pest organisms by fungi and/or bacteria introduced through soil amendment . Additional research is needed to better resolve the interactions between soil amendments and passive solar heating with respect to biosolarization efficacy and the impact on soil quality.…”

Anaerobic digestion is an organic waste bioconversion process that produces biofuel and digestates. Digestates have potential to be applied as soil amendment to improve properties for crop production including phytonutrient content and pest load. Our objective was to assess the impact of solid anaerobic digestates on weed seed inactivation and soil quality upon soil biosolarization (a pest control technique that combines solar heating and amendment-induced microbial activity). Two solid digestates from thermophilic (TD) and mesophilic (MD) digesters were tested. The solarized TD-amended samples presented significantly higher mortality of Brassica nigra (71%, P = 0.032) than its equivalent incubated at room temperature. However, biosolarization with digestate amendment led to decreased weed seed mortality in certain treatments. The plant-available water, total C, and extractable P and K were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the incubated amended soils. The results confirm the potential of digestates as beneficial soil amendments. Further studies are needed to elucidate the impacts of digestate stability on biosolarization efficacy and soil properties.

“…Numerous studies have confirmed that solarization of soil amended with chicken manure, chicken litter or plant residues was highly effective in controlling soilborne pathogens. Furthermore, this combination was more effective than single treatment alone (Gamliel et al, 2000;Stevens et al, 2003).…”

Soilborne pathogens cause significant economic losses in agricultural production all over the world. These species can survive for many years in the absence of a host plant by forming persistent structures such as microsclerotia, sclerotia, chlamydospores or oospores. Consequently, soilborne diseases are particularly difficult to predict, detect, diagnose and successfully control. Over the past 30 years, a fumigant, methyl bromide, has been widely used for their control in many crops. In 1992, methyl bromide was listed as an ozone-depleting substance under the Montreal Protocol − an international treaty to protect the ozone layer. During the phaseout of methyl bromide, problems generated in agricultural production made it clear that dependence on a single method or a single chemical should be avoided. The objective of this review paper was to summarize the current knowledge about different methods of soilborne disease control including: crop rotation, steam soil disinfection, soil amendments, hydroponics and soilless growing systems, soil solarization, grafting, biological control and use of natural compounds, and chemical control. Positive and negative aspects of all available methods were reviewed. Benefits, achieved by simultaneous application of several methods based on different mechanisms of actions, are discussed.

“…Similarly, Pande et al (2009) emphasized about the use of Integrated Disease management (IDM) modules for important foliar and viral diseases of legumes including bean. Stevens et al (2003) reported that long-term effectiveness of IPM plus soil solarization reduced soil borne diseases of vegetables for more than two years after solarization. The IPM technology has been found economically viable as the yield on IPM farms has been found higher by about 46 per cent, cost of cultivation has been less by about 21 per cent and the net returns have been higher by 119 per cent (Gajanana et al, 2006).…”

French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production is adversely affected by many pathogens and insect-pests worldwide. In the present investigation, effect of different bio-fortified composts, organic amendments, botanicals and pesticides were evaluated against diseases and insect- pests of french bean. The results showed that seed treatment and drenching with Trichoderma harzianum strain 11, followed by soil application of fortified farmyard manure resulted in the lowest root rot incidence, highest germination, vigour and yield in french bean. In another set of experiment, soil incorporation of Parthenium hysterophorus, Urtica dioicaandLantana camarawere found to reduce root rot incidence with high germination and pod yield. Among the bioproducts and botanicals tested, foliar spray of cow dung extract (50%) reduced angular leaf spot, rust and bacterial blight severity by 51, 69 and 25 per cent, respectively. Among the fungicides, foliar application of azoxystrobin 23 SC (0.1%) and difenoconazole 25EC (0.025%), also reduced angular leaf spot and rust severity by 93 and 90 per cent, respectively. Among different insect pest management strategies under field conditions, cartap hydrochloride and batain seed extract registered low sucking bug (Chauliops choprai) population. Integrated approaches including bio-agents, botanicals along with chemicals for managing these diseases and insect-pests were found appropriate options. Out of six different IPM modules evaluated, seed treatment with carbendazim along with foliar spray of 0.1% azoxystrobin and cartap hydrochloride resulted in lowest root rot, rust, angular leaf spot, bacterial blight and Chaulopsis choprai bug population in French bean.
