EFECTO DE DIFERENTES ABONOS ORGÁNICOS SOBRE EL ESTABLECIMIENTO DE Pochonia chlamydosporia var. catenulata EN EL SUSTRATO Y LA RIZOSFERA DE PLANTAS DE TOMATE

Urban Farm DB summary

An experiment in Cuba investigated the effect of different organic fertilizers on the establishment of the biological control agent Pochonia chlamydosporia var. catenulata in the substrate and rhizosphere of tomato plants. High colonization levels of the substrate and tomato roots were observed across all treatments using soil, cattle manure, and worm humus in various proportions. Results indicated a tendency for higher root colonization values in organic fertilizers and proportions that allowed medium or lower substrate colonization. Both organic fertilizers can be used to support the application of P. chlamydosporia var. catenulata in urban agriculture.
