Abstract:This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a biofumigants derived from cauli ower leaves and soil solarization technique in combating soil-borne pathogens namely Pythium ultimum, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii causing damping-off disease in major solanaceous crops such as tomato, chilli and capsicum. Results showed that soil solarization increased the average maximum soil temperature to 41.8°C with an increase of 5.4°C at 5cm soil depth over unsolarized beds. Integration of soi… Show more
