Impact of Composts on Disease Incidence in Vegetable Systems

Author
Rangarajan, Anusuya
Abstract
One characteristic of compost which might provide greater incentive for use by vegetable growers is suppression of soil-borne diseases in crops grown on compost-amended soils. Integrating compost into commercial vegetable production for disease suppression represents a long-term approach to enhance soil microbial activity and thereby increase system resilience to disease pressure.
