| Biofumigation refers to a biological method to reduce diseases, pests and weeds in the soil which is suitable for organic production systems. Cruciferous plants with a high level of Glucosinolates are grown for about two months in the field. To achieve the biofumigation effect, the intercrop is mulched during full bloom and rapidly incorporated into the soil. The Gluconisolates are converted during biological degradation into volatile substances toxic for certain diseases or pests. Nematodes are also sensitive to these substances and are reduced thereby. Besides using the incorporation of fresh plant material, pellets made of dried cruciferous plants and sold as fertilizer might be an alternative approach for nematode control. The pellets are... |
