EFFICIENCY OF GARDEN WASTE COMPOST TEAS ON POTATO GROWTH AND ITS SUPPRESSIVENESS AGAINST RHIZOCTONIA

Different dosages of compost tea (d1:1l and d2:3l per plot-7.5m2) were applied in experimental potato crops, in order to evaluate growth and production parameters (plant height, SPA units, shoots number, yield, tuber size and fried quality) and the Rhizoctonia solani control (attack severity). (2018) demonstrated the high potential of garden waste aerated compost and vermicompost teas on tomato growth and the suppressive effect on R. solani and F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici by "in vitro" and "pot" essays. [...]the compost tea increased potato mean yield by 9.47% for the T2 and by 3.32% for the T1 dose. Control of Phytophthora capsici and Phytophthora parasitica on pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) with compost teas form different sources, and their effects on plant growth promotion.
