Biofumigation is considered a promising nematode control alternative. In vitro tests confirmed the high nematicidal properties of isothiocyanates, the driving compounds of biofumigation. Its potential under temperate climate conditions was tested on a commercial farm. The tested biofumigation treatments reduced population densities of Pratylenchus spp. but had little effect on Meloidogyne hapla. The latter was most likely due to the good status of the tested varieties. To further optimize the biofumigation system non-host crops with high concentration of glucosinolates have to be selected. |

Caraway (Carum carvi) seeds contain biologically active essential oils, which have shown potential in controlling Phytophthora infestans (P.i.). An attempt is being made to develop a P.i. control strategy for organic farming based on caraway oil. |

Today there is a global search for alternatives to chemical pesticides and as part of this process there are various efforts to test the use and efficacy of natural products for pest control and crop protection. Our Centre has been involved in exploring the traditional knowledge regarding the use of natural products for pest control and crop protection. As part of this effort, we have looked at the traditional folk practices prevalent among farmers as well as information from classical literature on the subject drawn from Vrkshayurveda (traditional Indian plant science). Following this, we have carried out experiments for standardizing and field testing promising natural products by determining the precise range and kind of pests controlled by them,... |

Contamination of grain with Mycotoxins by Fusarium spp, Aspergillus spp. and Peni¬cillium spp. is a serious problem in conventional and organic cereal production. Based on a literature survey of in total 183 German and international papers (original articles, review articles, conference abstracts and contributions to textbooks) the following agronomical factors were judged to be of major importance for a possible contamina¬tion of cereals with mycotoxins: growing conditions, choice of variety, pre crop, soil tillage intensity, use of fungicides, weed control, intensity of fertilisation and storing conditions. Due to the fact that conventional compared to organic farming in general shows narrower crop rotations with a higher number of risky pre crops as... |

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... |
