Biocontrol microorganisms for soil-borne pathogens of tomato plants | SCIENCES DU VEGETAL | Scoop.it

Soil-borne pathogens are extremely dangerous for any crop, but are particularly damaging for vegetable crops that are grown in tunnels, where the conditions are inducive for the pathogenic fungi. Therefore, Excalibur has included in its work several trials to test potential or well known microorganisms that can reduce the risk of damages from soil-borne pathogens. Some of the trials are conducted by the Department of Plant Protection at the National Institute of Horticultural Research in Skierniewice, Poland.
