Biological soil disinfection for the sustainable and intensive production of woody plants
Project
Project code: 2811NA065
Contract period: 01.08.2012
- 31.08.2015
Budget: 129,980 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The effects of different intertillage species on growth of woody plants that are sensitive to replant problems will be analysed in this joint research project on fields of three nurseries specialised on rootstock production of fruit trees and roses. Within the project part 2811NA064 of the Chamber of Agriculture in Schleswig-Holstein different treatments will be compared: (i) biofumigation with two Brassicaceae species, (ii) Tagetes against nematodes mainly of the genus Praylenchus, (iii) grass to maintain the actual status of replant problems, and (iv) the chemical soil disinfectant Basamid, that should be replaced by alternative treatments in future. After these soil treatments, Rosa and Malus plants will be grown on the respective plots in order to detect the level of soil sickness. In the project part 2811NA065 of the Leibniz Universität Hannover in cooperation with the IGZ e.V. and the JKI these field trials will be used to analyse glucosinolate contents of the biofumigation plants as well as isothiocyanate contents in the soil after biofumigation and Basamid treatment. Molecular fingerprints by DGGE (denaturating gradient gel electrophoresis) analyses will reveal information on microbial communities. Finally, biotests involving indicator plants will be carried out to determine the effects of biofumigation on replant problems.
