“…In this way, municipal wastes are converted into quality compost, used in agriculture as a soil amendant (SaidPullicino, Erriquens, and Gigliotti 2007), and are considered a good substrate for potting mixtures ) and teas (Pane et al 2012a) with disease-suppressive properties. The addition of mature compost into fields may replace mineral fertilizers (Zaccardelli et al 2006), improve soil health (Zaccardelli et al 2011), and alleviate fertility decline by inducing specific changes in the microbial communities (Albiach et al 2000).…”

In an intensely cultivated soil in southern Italy, the effects of municipal waste compost on soil activities (basal respiration, β-glucosidase, and fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolysis), Biolog functional diversity, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) were estimated in a short period following amendment. Treatment with compost at 30 t ha −1 (dry matter) was compared to mineral fertilization and untreated soil. In these poor soils, organic amendment allowed the rapid recovery of an active and biodiverse soil community. While the addition of compost increased all microbial activities and EC, the pH did not change. Conversely, metabolic activity that was positively correlated to FDA hydrolysis rate initially was enhanced by compost but decreased with time and disappeared at the end of the incubation. Results indicated that waste compost amendments affected microbial activities, both at global and functional levels, favoring a rapid return of biological factors of fertility.

“…Raw, autoclaved (122°C for 22 min) and filtered (with 0.22 mm sterilized millipore membrane, following bland centrifugation to precipitate suspended cells) CWEs, further diluted in water 1:10 vol., were used to evaluate the suppressive potential of composts against F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, according to the well diffusion technique as developed by El-Masry et al [46] and slightly modified by Pane et al [47]. Compost pathogen suppression was assessed by measuring the CWE mycelial development inhibition as a percentage of growth reduction compared to the control plates.…”

Background: The use of compost may relieve the factors that limit productivity in intensive agricultural systems, such as soil organic matter depletion and soil sickness. Concomitantly, the practice of on-farm composting allows the recycle of cropping green residues into new productive processes. Results: We produced four vegetable composts by using tomato biomass residues in an on-farm composting plant. The tomato-based composts were assessed for their chemical, microbiological properties, and their effects on soils and plants were evaluated after their application within a tomato cropping system. Compost characteristics affected plant development and productivity through increased nutrient uptake and biostimulation functions. Soil biological activities, including basal respiration, fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis, β-glucosidase, dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, arylsulphatase, and Biolog community levels of physiological profiles, were differently affected by the on-farm tomato-based composts.

“…The compost extract is an organic product obtained after fermentation of compost in liquid phase for a few days to up two weeks or just for few hours of mixing with or without aeration (short preparation) (Ingham, 2003;Lanthier, 2007). A number of factors which are involved in the compost extraction process, such as temperature, aeration, organic matter and microbiological properties, are responsible for their efficiency in plant disease suppression (Pane et al, 2012). The use of compost extract as a biological control agent (BCA) against soil borne diseases has increased in the last years.…”

“…Several researchers showed that the compost extract can control several pathogenic fungi like Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria alternata, Pyrenochaeta lycopersici (Palou et al, 2013;Pane et al, 2012) (Kerkeni and Khedher, 2007). The suppressiveness of compost extract is mostly due to its microbial community (Koné et al, 2010;Lin et al, 2014;Pane et al, 2012;Powell and Barry, 2017;Suárez-Estrella et al, 2013;Ventorino et al, 2016). These microbes exert their antagonism by microbiostasis, antibiosis and hyperparasitism and/or stimulate systemic resistance in host plants (Le Page and Bousquet, 2007).…”

“…In Morocco, cultivars that are sensitive are economically important (Mejhoul and Boufegous). Another alternative method to control phytopathogenic fungi consists of applications of compost and/or its extract (Alberto et al, 2016;El-Masry et al, 2002;Markakis et al, 2016;Pane et al, 2013Pane et al, , 2012Sghir et al, 2015).

Bayoud, vascular wilt of date palm caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (Foa), is widely distributed in all date palm growing regions of Morocco. It is the most serious disease of the date palm. Compost is recognized for their ability to improve soil characteristics and to protect the crops against biotic and abiotic stress. In this experiment, in vitro effects of different concentrations of sterilized and unsterilized compost extract on the growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. albedinis were evaluated. All concentration of unsterilized compost extract decreased radial growth of Foa. In fact, fungal radial growth inhibition ranged from 20 to 97%. Higher antifungal activity was noted in 30 and 40% concentration (more than 93%). Nevertheless, sterile compost extract inhibited mycelia growth only for the 40% concentration with 18% fungal growth inhibition, while lower concentrations were not effective.
