Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: This project aims to develop and demonstrate suppressive crop rotations as a component of integrated non-fumigant soil-borne disease management strategies for strawberry production. Objectives are to (1) examine the effect of allium crops on the population of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae (Fof) in the soil with and without anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD), a biological alternative to fumigation in greenhouse trials; (2) study the effect of Summit 515 wheat on Macrophomina phaseolina (Mp) in the soil with and without ASD in greenhouse trials; and (3) evaluate suppressive crop rotations for Mp in strawberries at replicated field trials in California. Here, we report the second year's results, in which we repeated pot experiments for Objectives 1 and 2 and conducted a field trial for Objective 3.
