We quote an excerpt from an interesting article
“Mono-succession or frequent return to the same plot are common practices for strawberry cultivation that impose at the beginning of each new crop cycle the problem of soil disinfection.
Biofumigation techniques that are becoming popular are based on the combined and synergistic use of physical (solarization) and biological (organic matter inputs, “biocide” plant derivatives, microbial consortia) means, in different combinations.
This study evaluates, with regard to biofumigation, the formulation BIORESET (manufactured by Itaka Srl) whose mechanism of action is based on the synergy between flavonoids derived from propolis and glucosinolates released from mustard oil.
Biofumigant treatment and interventions with the microbiological formulation, at this early stage, seem to have exerted a positive effect on the vegetative development of both the aerial part and the root system, compared with the solarized soil only.”
