High-quality technology and organic farming - an innovative approach to control the pathogen Rhizoctonia solani in potato production
The root disease caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani is a fundamental problem in the production of plant material for potato growing as for a successful cultivation healthy plant material is of very high importance. A direct control of the disease is not possible, but only the interaction between plant production and a preventive integrated pest management is promising. Based on previous research of the University of Kassel, science and industry have co-developed an innovative procedure. It ensures a high protection level of mother and daughter potato tubers through the combination of a simultaneous compost application and potato planting. Compost owns so-called suppressive effects able to control the pathogen. The objective of this project is to establish the procedure to control the Rhizoctonia solani and ensure the functionality of the procedural steps. Sub-goals are the compost production at model and practice level, monitoring of impacts by field and demonstration trials, optimisation of the logistics chain and application technology and demonstration of the overall procedure.
