Production of disease suppressive compost and microorganism culture for use therein

摘要: Compost is rendered suppressive to plant pathogens, such as Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum and Fusarium, and/or diseases caused thereby by adding the compost, desirably after peak heating has been achieved but before substantial recolonization of compost mesophilic microorganisms occurred, one or more antagonistic pathogen. Desirably inoculated microoganisms comprise Trichoderma hamatum species A.T.C.C. No. 20765 20764, together with a Pseudomonas maltophilia bacterium 53199 Flavobacterium species, 53198.
