A new biobased liquid formulation with biofumigant and fertilising properties for drip irrigation distribution

Biofumigation with species of the Brassicaceae family: a review

“…Worldwide, the main forms of use included: previous cultivation followed by incorporation as green manure; rotational cultivation; addition and incorporation of fresh or dry vegetable residues (MATTHIESSEN & KIRKEGAARD, 2006;KIRKEGAARD, 2009;CLARKSON et al, 2015;CAMPANELLA et al, 2020;MORRIS et al, 2020); and addition of industrial residues, such as cakes from seed pressing, for oil extraction (KIRKEGAARD, 2009;CURTO et al, 2016;PAN et al, 2017). Commercial products and formulations registered as Biofence TM (pellets and liquids), which contain high gSL levels (LAZZeRI et al, 2013;NICOLA et al, 2013;WEI et al, 2016;SERRANO-PéREz et al, 2017), have also been used and evaluated in Italy, England, and Spain. Likewise, some companies have marketed seeds of certain Brassica juncea ('ISCI 20' and 'ISCI 99') and Eruca sativa ('nemat') cultivars, as they contain high GSL levels, and are recommended for cultivation and for use as biofumigants (TRIUMPH, 2015).…”

“…The cake is an interesting form of use, because the seeds tend to accumulate GSL during ripening; the concentration of these compounds is 8-10 times higher than that in other parts of the plants (LAzERRI et al, 2013). One example is the use of residues from Abyssinian mustard seed pressing (Brassica carinata) to produce biodiesel and derived products, which are rich in GSLs and can be used in the production of biofumigants (KIRKEGAARD, 2009;LAzzERI et al, 2013;NICOLA et al, 2013;LADHALAKSHMI et al, 2015;CURTO et al, 2016;WEI et al, 2016;SERRANO-PéREz et al, 2017). Cakes resulting from brassica seed pressing (defatted seed meal -DSM), as well as their derived technological products, can be used for the production of vegetable species both in Brazil and globally.…”

“…There are several practical examples and technological Brassica spp. products patented for use as biofumigants to control pathogens (LAzzERI et al, 2013;NICOLA et al, 2013;LADHALAKSHMI et al, 2015). Likewise, it is possible to buy mustard cultivars that are selected and marketed for cultivation to incorporate biomass for soil biofumigation (TRIUMPH, 2015).…”

“…This process results in the release of bioactive substances, nutrient cycling, increased levels of organic matter in the soil; and consequently, improved physical, chemical, and biological properties (KIRKEGAARD, 2009;CLARKSON et al, 2015). Substantial technological advances have already been achieved in terms of tests and validation, and commercial products based on the cake obtained from pressing brassica seeds are available for oil extraction, liquid formulations, pellets, leaf extracts, and brassica-based oils (LORD et al, 2011;NICOLA et al, 2013;CURTO et al, 2016;WEI et al, 2016;SERRANO-PéREz et al, 2017;RONCATO et al, 2018;RUBAYET et al, 2018;PONTES et al, 2019). To date, species of the Brassicaceae family have been tested and used in various countries such as Italy, India, Australia, China, the United Kingdom, Spain, the United States, Argentina, South Africa, Germany, Switzerland (MATTHIESSEN & KIRKEGAARD, 2006;KIRKEGAARD, 2009;DONALD et al, 2010;PERNIOLA et al, 2012;LAzzERI et al, 2013;MICHEL, 2014;LADHALAKSHMI et al, 2015;WEI et al, 2016;PAN et al, 2017;RÍOS et al, 2017;DANEEL et al, 2018;DUTTA et al, 2019;JIN et al, 2019;CAMPANELLA et al, 2020;HANSCHEN & WINKELMANN, 2020;MORRIS et al, 2020), andBrazil (OLIVEIRA et al, 2011;BARROS et al, 2014;RONCATO et al, 2018).…”

Effect of two bio-based liquid formulations from Brassica carinata in containing red spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) on eggplant

“…A kinetic curve of the AITC released over time by the two formulations was estimated by using headspace gas chromatography as described in De Nicola et al (2013). Samples were collected every 5 min up to 40 min after the preparation of the formulations.…”
