Summary

Phytophthora disease of strawberry is one of the major problems in strawberry protection. An alternative to chemical treatment needs to be found.
Project aims:
- Find a sustainable solution to control soilborne diseases by strawberry
- Improve the market for quality compost
Methodology:
- Pot trials to screen the different composts and green manure
- Field experiment in an with Phytophthora naturally infested field
Results, conclusion, state of the art:
Compost and green manure can reduce disease incidence in pot experiments. The evaluation of field experiment has to show, if this reduction is also effective under the conditions of agricultural practise.
Involved organisations, project partners:
Agroscope RAC Changins, Les Fougères, Dr. Vincent Michel, Switzerland
