Relative heat sensitivities and the potential for soil solarization to remediate nursery beds infested with Phytophthora spp.

Creator:

Weidman, Clara Suzanne

Abstract:

Infestations of container nursery beds by Phytophthora spp. can be persistent and costly. One method of disinfestation that does not require the use of chemicals is soil solarization, which captures energy from the sun to heat soil and thermally inactivate target pathogens. In laboratory temperature gradient experiments, I investigated the...
