Summary -A field assay was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of several methods for the afforestation of a semi-arid area of southeast Spain with Pinus halepensis. The trial was designed as a two factor factorial with four soil preparation treatments as the first factor (mechanical terracing, manual terracing, manual terracing with the addition of urban solid refuse [USR] and mechanical terracing with USR) and the addition of fresh forest soil to the planting hole as the second factor. Twentyone months after planting, the methods involving the addition of USR significantly enhanced P halepensis performance, mechanical terracing with USR being the most effective treatment in improving the survival and growth of the pines. The addition of forest soil significantly enhanced P halepensis growth in all the soil preparation treatments except in the manual terracing with USR. P halepensis growth was strongly correlated with soil moisture content (r= 0.83; P < 0.01) which was greatest in the mechanical terracing with USR treatment. Soil fertility levels, which were improved by organic amendment, were significantly correlated with seedling growth, particularly the phosphorus rates (r= 0.75; P < 0.05). The

“…Smolin´ska (2000) also found that the incorporation of Brassica plant residues in soil had a detrimental effect on germination of onion seeds and seedling growth. As well as increasing the levels of soluble salts in soils, organic wastes and composted materials often contain substances such as organic acids that have a detrimental effect on seed germination and plant growth (Keeling et al, 1994). Phytotoxic compounds have been shown to increase in soil following compost incorporation but then decline over time (Conklin et al, 2002).…”

Mixtures of wet vegetable wastes (Brassica, carrot or onion) and dry onion waste were composted at 50°C for 7 days. The incorporation of the raw or composted vegetable waste mixtures into sandy loam, silt and peat soils reduced the viability of sclerotia of S. cepivorum in glasshouse pot bioassays. The reduction in viability was dependent on waste type, rate of incorporation, duration of exposure and soil type. Onion waste was the most effective waste type in reducing sclerotia viability in all three soils. The Brassica and carrot wastes were as effective as the onion waste in silt soil but less effective in sandy loam and peat soil. A 50% w/w incorporation rate of the wastes gave the largest reduction in viability, with an increase in reduction over time. Composted onion waste reduced sclerotia viability under glasshouse and field conditions although the effect was smaller in the field. Composted onion waste incorporated into soil at 50% w/ w reduced the incidence of Allium white rot on onion seedlings in glasshouse pot tests. Incidence and control of the disease differed with soil type. The most consistent control was achieved in peat soil whereas no control was observed in silt soil. Incorporation of the waste 2 months prior to sowing or transplanting reduced seedling emergence in sandy loam soil and growth in all three soil types. The potential for field application of composted vegetable wastes as a sustainable method for control of Allium white rot and waste disposal is discussed.Abbreviations: AWR -Allium white rot; GLM -generalised linear model.

“…Abad Berjon et al (1997) ont signalé que l'effet répressif d'un compost n'est pas uniquement lié aux caractéristiques de celui-ci, mais aussi est fonction de la dose appliquée. Cet effet répressif lié à la dose est prononcé avec les composts à Cassia, sans doute lié à leur acidité (Keeling et al, 1994). Ainsi, les apports au sol des composts à Cassia devraient …”
