  • The influence of biofumigation on mycorrhizal fungi and growth of strawberries
    Koron, Darinka
    Green manure from Brassica plants reduced the micro organisms in soil due to biocidal effect. Biofumigation with glucosinolates from Brassica juncea, Sinapis alba and Eruca sativa only partially ... infuenced the mycorrhizal fungi of the strawberry cv. 'Marmolada'. In the field trial the differences in mycorrhizal parameters were not statistically significant between treatments (Brassica juncea, Sinapis alba, Eruca sativa, dazomet, control). The highest frequency of roots with mycorrhizal fungi (F) was observed in the chemical treament with dazomet (50.3%). In the control, F was 49.2% and it was the lowest in the B. juncea treatment (43.4%). In pot trials, the average F was found in B. juncea, 57.9%, followed by S. alba, 54.9%, E. sativa, 66.8%, dazomet, 2.9%, and control, 60.8%. The average intensity of fungi infection (M) was found in B. juncea, 7.4%, then in S. alba, 9.8%, E. sativa, 7.5%, dazomet, 0.0%, and control, 7.1%. Differences in yield observed in the field trial were not statistically significant. In pot trials the number of fruits per plant was the highest in E. sativa (8.1), S. alba (7.0), B. juncea (6.9), control (3.7) and dazomet (1.8). Increase of the yield at the treatment with biocidal plants was the result of incorporation of organic matter into soil and undisturbed activity of mycorrhizal fungi.
