Abstract
CURAY, Segundo et al. Biofumigation and solarization as strategies of management of nematode in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Rev. Inv. Cs. Agro. y Vet. [online]. 2021, vol.5, n.15, pp.106-113. ISSN 2664-0902. https://doi.org/10.33996/revistaalfa.v5i15.131.
The control of phytoparasitic nematodes has been mainly based on the use of chemical products, which are increasingly less efficient, so it is necessary to seek ecologically sustainable strategies. Two tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of biofumigation and solarization on nematode populations in a tomato crop (Solanum lycopersicum) under greenhouse conditions. In the first trial, the single and combined effect of biofumigation with solarization was studied in Quillan valley, Municipality of Pillaro. In the second trial, the effect of the phenological stage of the Abyssinian mustard on the control of soil-nematodes in Parroquia La Matriz, municipality of Pillaro was evaluated. Less effect was observed in the control of Meloidogyne (barely 25%), while in Xiphinema it caused total control. No effect was observed of the age of the plant material and the type of application on the number of nematodes; however, an effect was observed by the time of action of the extracts. Based on the results, the use of Brassicaceae in combination with solarization could be a viable alternative for the management of nematode populations in tomato crops.
