INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL PRACTICES AND CHEMICAL TREATMENTS ON SOILBORNE DISEASES OF FRUIT CROPS.

Authors:	M. Gullino, M. Mezzalama
Abstract: Cultural practices and chemical tratments can greatly affect the severity of several soilborne diseases by directly acting on the pathogen and, in a more complex way, by interfering with microbiological and environmental factors. The paper focuses on the influence of some cultural practices (tillage, fallow, rotation, fertilization, soil moisture and reaction, flooding) and chemical treatments (mainly soil disinfestation) on soilborne diseases of fruit crops.
