Bio-disinfection with semi-composted manure for the control of the pepper crop disease caused by Phytophthora capsici
Researchers at the Basque Institute for Agricultural Research and Development, NEIKER-Tecnalia, have confirmed that the use of semi-composted manure in combination with the plastic sealing of the soil is an effective control for Phytophthora capsici, a fungus responsible for a disease that seriously affects greenhouse-grown peppers.
