“…Results obtained for soil electrical conductivity following solarization (Table 4) show that soil covered with PE sheet significantly reduced the EC as compared with non-solarized soil. Abdel Rahim et al (1988), Kaewruang et al (1989) and Kumar and Yaduraju (1992) also observed a decline in soil EC following solarization. Decreases in soil nutrient concentrations (P and K) have been measured following soil solarization as reported earlier by Chen and Katan.…”

The control of weeds by solar heating of the soil using transparent polyethylene (PE) sheets was studied in the field during the summers of 1994 and 1995. The maximum soil temperature under plastic cover at 5 cm depth averaged 53°C. At 5 cm soil depth, solarization increased temperature by about 9°C. In the non‐solarized soils, such high‐temperature days were fewer. A temperature of 55°C at 5 cm soil depths was recorded both in irrigated and non‐irrigated mulched soils. However, mulched soil recorded 70% of the treatment period compared with 43% in unirrigated and mulched soils. Lower depths of 10 and 15 cm did not attain a temperature 55°C or 60°C on any day during the experimental period. Solarization treatment with PE sheets significantly increased NO−3—N and NH+4—N in comparison with non‐solarized plots. While uncovered plots showed significant increase in available phosphorus and marginally increased in potassium and electrical conductivity. Organic carbon content and pH did not vary under different treatments. PE mulching for 30 days significantly reduced the number of weed seeds, specifically Avena fatua L. and Phalaris minor Retz., while Trianthema monogyna Linn, and Asphodelus tenuifolius Cav. were not affected much in comparison with the former. Melilotus indica (L.) All, was not at all affected by the solarization treatment studied. The solarization reduction index (SRI) was calculated for each weed species studied and it was concluded that weeds having a low SRI can be controlled more effectively than weeds with high SRI values. The heating effect from solarization decreased significantly with soil depth. The 30 days’ soil solarization treatment in moist soil was more effective than the 10 and 20 days’ heating treatment in moist and dry soils for weed control.

“…The spectrum of controlled weeds includes species of winter and summer annual weeds (Elmore, 1991;Cohen & Rubin, 2007). A parasitic weed of the genus Orobanchae was controlled by solarization, (Jacobsohn et al, 1980;Abdel Rahim et al, 1988). Similar results were obtained in the laboratory with the parasitic weed Striga (Elmore, 1991).…”

“…has been reviewed recently (Heale 1988) and will be dealt with only briefly here. On the other hand, Puhalla (1985), Correll et al (1986), Bosland and Williams (1987), and Katan and Katan (1988) have .shown agreement in demonstrating that different strains of F. oxysporum fall into apparently 'clear-cut' pathogenicity groups on the basis of ability to produce heterokaryons ('vegetative compatibility') by pairing complementary nitrate non-utilising mutants ('nit mutants'). A different method of assessing incompatibility in V. dahliae was developed by Puhalla and Hummel (1983) viz.…”

Vascular Wilt Diseases of Plants

PREFACEThis book is a collection of papers presented at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held at Cape Sounion, Greece, in May of 1988. The primary objectives of the workshop were to bring together researchers who are involved in studies of vascular diseases of plants caused by bacterial and fungal pathogens, and whose primary involvement and approaches range from the ecological to the organismal, cellular and molecular. It was anticipated that the kind of interaction that would occur in an intimate meeting of several days duration, such as a NATO Workshop offers, would produce a broader appreciation and understanding of various aspects of wilt diseases, new levels of collaboration and, in the longer term, a more sound and broad base of measures for practical disease control.In all, eighteen lectures and twenty-seven research papers were presented. The first day was devoted to the life cycles of the pathogens, their colonization of root surfaces, entry into roots, and colonization of the vascular systems of plants. The second day was devoted to recognition phenomena, structural changes and physiological and biochemical interactions by which the plant defends itself and those by which the pathogen counters these processes and causes disease. On day three, these studies were carried to the genetic and molecular levels of understanding, principally for bacteria, but with exciting progress and prospects with fungi as well. Day four began the process of integrating these understandings with physical and biological components of the environment in ecological terms. Finally, day five was devoted to discussing comprehensive systems of control in light of the understandings gained during the week.The workshop was successful in its intended purpose of enhan-VI cing confluent thought at the ecological, organismal and molecular levels and, indeed, several collaborative ventures that cross these disciplinary lines were agreed upon or are being explored. For example, the use of immunohistochemistry has allowed far more precise studies of the colonization of epidermal and cortical tissues by species of Fusarium and Verticillium. The question arises, can these techniques not also be used to examine the colonization of roots by competing organisms found in suppressive soils with or without chemical additives, including fertilizers, that may enhance or reduce apparent suppressiveness? Again, colonization of epidermal and cortical tissues of roots by these species is commonplace and general along certain portions of roots, yet successful vascular colonization leading to apparent disease is a relatively rare event in comparison. Either suitable vascular infection courts or the conditions suitable for vascular infection must be of rare occurence. Can immunohistochemical procedures be used to help identify those places and conditions under which infection can take place, and if so, can we take steps to further reduce the frequency of successful vascular infection and colonization by pathogenic forms? Can genetic factors within the hos...
