Compost, animal manure, inorganic fertilizer, and green manure were applied to autoclaved soil prior to addition of a pathogenic inoculum. The biological control of the damping-off disease was evaluated by monitoring disease incidence in every plot of 50 seedlings for 25 days. Compost and animal manure significantly reduced disease incidence while green manure and inorganic fertilizer did not yield significant results as compared to the nonamended control soil. Percent emergence, dry matter content, and height were not at all affected by the different treatments.v, 33 p.SoilTomato diseaseTomatoEnviromental hazardsGerminationLG 993.5 1998 B5 B36Thesissoil amendmentstomatoesenvironmental controlgerminationdamping offSDG 15 - Life on landSDG 13 - Climate actionSDG 11 - Sustainable cities and communities
