| Abstract:
The nematicidal effect of fresh, exhausted and composted olive pomace and fresh grape pomace at dosages of 10, 20 and 40 t/ha was tested on Meloidogyne incognita on cantaloupe in a sandy loam of southern Italy. All treatments caused a significant reduction of nematode population on plant roots and in the soil, but only the highest dosage of grape pomace increased yield. | |
