Abstract | Applying high rates of humified, thermophilic compost and vermicompost to a soil depleted in organic carbon has the potential to improve soil structure and soil fertility, and also to suppress soilborne disease. In this paper, published bioassay methods were used to assess the disease-suppressing properties of cured, thermophilic cotton trash Applying high rates of thermophilic compost and vermicompost to a soil depleted in organic carbon has the potential to improve soil structure and fertility, and to suppress soilborne disease. Published bioassay methods were used to assess the disease-suppressing properties of three cured cotton trash composts, and the plant growth promoting properties of filtrate produced from pig manure vermicompost. The chemical properties of the composts and the Fusarium wilt infested receiving soil were analysed, to assess other soil health parameters likely to affect plant growth. |
