“…In all these methods, the positive effects of pathogen control have to be weighed against potential negative side-effects like N-leaching (in the case of high-N amendments), environmental effects of plastic use, and other biotic effects affecting soil quality (e.g., reductions in non-pathogenic soil organisms). Currently also combinations of methods are being introduced, such as anaerobic incubation of organic amendments combined with induction of sublethal temperatures by solarization (Melero-Vara et al, 2012).…”

Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) for the control of multiple soilborne pathogens is a viable alternative to the application of biocides and soil steaming. ASD implies soil wetting, incorporation of fresh organic matter, and covering with airtight plastic foil for several weeks. To speed up the whole process, Thatchtec has developed a procedure based on defined agricultural products (referred to as Herbie). To further optimize ASD, the mechanism of pathogen inactivation should be unraveled. Therefore, we performed an incubation experiment in 11-L polypropene containers with 6 soil types (glacial sand, dune sand, river clay, marine loam, peat soil, and an artificially composed soil lacking any organic matter) in triplicate. After wetting the soil to field capacity, Herbie was added to it (equivalent to 4 g crude protein L-1 soil) and containers were filled with soil (8 L, head space 3 L). A similar treatment without Herbie served as control. Nylon mesh bags containing cysts of potato cyst nematode (PCN; Globodera pallida) were added and the containers were sealed off. Destructive sampling was performed 3, 7, 14, and 28 d after start of the experiment and biotic (cyst content survival, free-living nonplant parasitic nematode community, total and functional groups of bacteria, fungi and protozoa) and abiotic (organic matter, pH, nutrients, EC, fatty acids) parameters measured. Additionally, concentrations of several gases (O 2 , H 2 S, CH 4 , CO 2 , NH 3 , N 2 O) were measured in the head space before each destructive sampling. Survival of eggs within the cysts declined in all treatments to levels <0.5% at the end of the experiment. The rate of egg inactivation depended significantly on soil type, although texture (sand vs. clay) appeared unimportant. Egg survival in the treatments correlated negatively with concentrations of acetic, propionic and butyric acid. As a potential quick-to-measure proxy for incubation time and efficacy, level of O 2 combined with the density of free-living non-plant parasitic nematodes might be interesting.

“…Organic soil amendments (OAs) have shown to reduce the effects of several soil‐borne plant pathogens (Lazarovits, ; Litterick et al , ; Noble & Coventry, ; Bonanomi et al , ; Avilés et al , ; Melero‐Vara et al , , ; Borrego‐Benjumea et al , ). The soil amendments more effective for disease control were found to be compost and organic wastes (Bonanomi et al , ).…”

“…The production of such compounds also likely reduced Fusarium wilt and root galls of carnation, respectively caused by F. oxysporum f. sp. dianthi and Meloidogyne incognita (Melero‐Vara et al , , ), as well as crown and root rot of asparagus caused by Fusarium spp. (Borrego‐Benjumea et al , ).…”

“…Soil solarisation has proven feasible for the control of different soil‐borne plant pathogens in a variety of crops, primarily by physical modes of action; the effect is mainly because of the high solar radiation and to the temperatures usually reached during the summer (Katan et al , ; Katan, ; González‐Torres et al , ; Chellemi, ). Combining organic amendments with soil solarisation has been an effective method of controlling fungi, weeds and other pests (Stapleton & Duncan, ; Klein et al , 2011 b ; Melero‐Vara et al , , ).…”

Organic soil amendments play important roles in the reduction of plant diseases caused by soil-borne plant pathogens. This study examined the combined effects of concentrations of organic amendments, temperature and period of incubation in soil on the management of Fusarium wilt of tomato caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol). In an experiment with substrate mixture, Fol reduction was higher when the soils were incubated at 35°C than at 30°C. Disease severity was proportionally reduced as the volume of amendment added increased. Furthermore, disease was significantly lower in substrates incubated for 30 days at both temperatures, as compared to substrates incubated for only 15 days. The most effective control was achieved with pelletised poultry manure (PPM). In experiments with natural sandy soil, the effects of amendments on Fol populations, measured by real-time quantitative PCR with TaqMan probes, were significant. The highest decreases in Fol DNA resulted when the soil was amended with 2% PPM and incubated at 35°C. The reductions in DNA concentrations was most likely related to the accumulations of high concentrations of NH 3 (27.3 mM) in soils treated with 2% PPM and incubated at room temperature (RT; 23 ± 2°C), or at 35°C. Severity of plants grown in soils incubated at RT decreased by over 40%, and more than 73% when incubated at 35°C, regardless of the rate of PPM. The results indicate that the management with PPM, when combined with heating or solarisation, is an effective control measure against Fusarium wilt of tomato.

“…High temperature and relative humidity values followed by other biotic stresses (e.g., high salinity conditions) inside greenhouse may favor the occurrence of disease infections (Dimartino et al 2011;Lo Cantore and Iacobellis 2002) since these bacteria are well distributed into soil and plant rhizosphere as also opportunistic microorganisms (Bradbury 1986). Among nonchemical alternatives, soil solarization has already proven effective in the management of many soilborne fungal pathogens, weeds and other pests (Gamliel and Katan 2012;Melero-Vara et al 2012;Vitale et al 2011;Vitale et al 2013b;Mauro et al 2015). In addition, thermal and biological effects of this technique may be predicted over time and modulated by mean of innovative materials (Fig.…”

The reduction or phase-out of soil fumigants according to European directives has led to a re-evaluation of sustainable heat-based techniques and exploiting solar energy, e.g., solarization that was used successfully for the eradication of fungi, weeds, and nematodes. Since the beginning of the current century, bacterial infections caused by phytopathogenic Pseudomonads have been increasingly reported as threat for many horticultural crops worldwide. Nowadays, this disease represents a limiting factor for the tomato production in the Mediterranean basin under greenhouse conditions. Therefore, we tested the effects of soil solarization in controlling natural infections caused by Pseudomonas fluorescens on tomato cultivations in Sicily (south Italy) from 2010 to 2013 under different greenhouse conditions, i.e., with lateral openings uncovered or kept closed. Four experiments were performed under both wooden-concrete and steel-made greenhouses to compare the performances of innovative and traditional films alone or combined with other control measures (only in partially opened greenhouses) against tomato bacterial infections. All solarization treatments were effective in controlling phytopathogenic pseudomonads except for one carried out in a multi-span steel greenhouse with the side openings kept raised. Tested greenhouse covering and mulching films increased soil temperature up to 9.6°C at 15 cm and 7.7°C at 30 cm, respectively, if compared to bare plots. Moreover, solarization treatments proved effective in controlling bacterial infections (up to about 90% reduction of disease amount) and in increasing yield up to 45% relative to the bare plots. Among tested films, EVA showed the best performances both in reducing bacterial infections and increasing tomato yield, innovative polyamide VIF and smoky gray were very promising films while green coextruded could be considered a very attractive film since it can be left on after solarization process as mulch for tomato transplanting. This study shows for the first time the feasibility and sustainability of soil solarization performed with innovative materials in managing tomato bacterial diseases in greenhouse.
