Summary in the original language of the document

This factsheet provides information on what soil borne diseases are, how to recognise them and why they are important. The different groups of soil borne diseases, including nematode and fungi, are highlighted, as well as symptoms and diagnoses of these microscopic pathogens. With some examples from onion, tomato and cucumber. Correct diagnosis is crucial to allow correct management of the soil going forward.
Not only harmful microbes live in the soil, 99% of the microorganisms living in an agricultural soil are not pathogenic. The majority are saprophytic, which means that they are involved in the decomposition and mineralisation of dead organic.
This tool is relevant for all practitioners dealing with soil-borne disease in their production.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	What are soil-borne diseases, how to recognize them and why are they important – learn it here.
What problem does the tool address?:	Soil borne diseases are caused by soil borne pathogens, a group of microorganisms that can cause the reduction or limitation of yield in intolerant crops. Soil borne pathogens include nematodes, fungi, bacteria and even viruses.
What solution does the tool offer?:	Once soil borne pathogens are present in a soil, they can be controlled by chemical soil fumigation. However, fumigation is not allowed in organic farming and therefore must be managed using other practices.
