“…In addiition, the use of organic amendments to improve soil properties, plant health and yield has expanded in recent years. Organic amendments in combination with soil heating or solarization have the potential to improve crop health (Klein et al, 2007;Gamliel & Katan, 2009). Likewise, heating of soils covered with plastic film and amended with appropriate organic material activates a chain reaction of chemical and microbial degradation, generating antimicrobial compounds.…”

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.

“…Aerobic biofumigation can be combined with other techniques, such as soil solarization (LADHALAKSHMI et al, 2015;GAMLIEL & BRUGGEN, 2016), in which the soil temperature is increased by utilizing the incident solar energy on previously moistened soil covered with transparent polyethylene film (gAMLIeL & KATAn, 2009). In this case, some researchers prefer to name the combination of these two techniques as 'soil biosolarization' (ROS et al, 2008;VILLALOBOS et al, 2013).…”

Biofumigation with species of the Brassicaceae family: a review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Biofumigation involves the release of volatile biocidal compounds in the soil through the incorporation of certain plants and their residues. Species of the Brassicaceae family are the most widely used plants for biofumigation. These plants contain glucosinolates, which produce compounds, such as isothiocyanates, following enzymatic hydrolysis, with scientifically proven fungicidal effects. The most commonly used brassica species belong to the genera Brassica, Raphanus, Sinapis, and Eruca. In addition to the release of compounds in the soil, complementary mechanisms, such as the supply of organic matter and nutrients, and improvement of the soil structure, also play a role in biofumigation. In the past two decades, several studies on the use of brassica residues in biofumigation have been published, showing promising results in the management of soil pathogens (fungi and oomycetes, nematodes, bacteria, and protozoa), weed seeds, and insects. Usage of new biofumigation compounds has also been validated in recent years, including the development of patented technological products such as liquid formulations and pellets. The objective of this article was to review these new developments, beginning with concepts related to biofumigation, and to discuss the mechanisms of action of compounds involving brassica species and the recommendations on usage. Promising examples of the use of this technique are also presented, further detailing the advances in basic and applied knowledge on the subject.

“…A biofumigação do solo, que também pode ser conhecida como desinfestação aeróbia do solo, pode ser combinada com outras técnicas como a solarização do solo (LADHALAKSHMI et al, 2015). A solarização do solo é o aproveitamento da energia solar para elevar a temperatura do solo, previamente umedecido e coberto com filmes de polietileno transparente (GAMLIEL & KATAN, 2009). Diversos estudos recentes apontam resultados positivos da combinação das duas técnicas com a justificativa de que os efeitos são potencializados, principalmente em regiões tropicais, como é o caso do Brasil, onde a radiação solar é abundante (ROS et al, 2008;VILLALOBOS et al, 2013;GAMLIEL & BRUGGEN, 2016).…”
