According to the necessity to find new eco-compatible control methods, against soilborne pathogens and plant parasitic nematodes, as required by the guidelines of European Community on the use of pesticides on agricultural crops, two experiments were carried out to verify the efficacy of ozone treatments, as gas and/or ozonated water, against the soil borne pathogens Pyrenochaeta lycopersici and Verticillim dahliae and the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita on tomato and eggplant, respectively. In both experiments ozone treatments significantly reduced root gall index and soil nematode population density in comparison to untreated controls. Also severity of symptoms of the diseases caused by P. lycopersici and V.dahliae were significantly reduced.

Abstract

According to the necessity to find new eco-compatible control methods, against soilborne pathogens and plant parasitic nematodes, as required by the guidelines of European Community on the use of pesticides on agricultural crops, two experiments were carried out to verify the efficacy of ozone treatments, as gas and/or ozonated water, against the soil borne pathogens Pyrenochaeta lycopersici and Verticillim dahliae and the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita on tomato and eggplant, respectively. In both experiments ozone treatments significantly reduced root gall index and soil nematode population density in comparison to untreated controls. Also severity of symptoms of the diseases caused by P. lycopersici and V.dahliae were significantly reduced.
