Chancen und Grenzen der Biofumigation für die Bekämpfung pflanzenparasitärer Nematoden

Summary in the original language of the document

Biofumigation is considered a promising nematode control alternative. In vitro tests
confirmed the high nematicidal properties of isothiocyanates, the driving compounds
of biofumigation. Its potential under temperate climate conditions was tested on a
commercial farm. The tested biofumigation treatments reduced population densities of
Pratylenchus spp. but had little effect on Meloidogyne hapla. The latter was most likely
due to the good status of the tested varieties. To further optimize the biofumigation
system non-host crops with high concentration of glucosinolates have to be selected.
