Disease control with quality compost in pot and field trials

Abstract

Quality compost can have a positive effect on soil fertility and plant growth and health.
\nThis positive effect is not only observable in the laboratory, but also by growers.
\nPhytopathological problems could be solved with the use of compost.
\nDurable success can only be obtained if a quality management is resolutely followed.
\nFurther research is needed to optimize the quality management of compost production and
\nutilization. For example, very little is known about the long-term effect of the different composts on soil fertility and disease receptivity.
