Effect of sewage sludge on the incidence of corn stalk rot caused by Fusarium.
Author(s): GHINI, R.; FORTES, N. L. P.; BETTIOL, W.
Summary: During the last decades, sewage started to be treated in order to reduce the pollution of rivers, resulting in the production of a sludge rich in organic matter and nutrients, called sewage sludge. Among the alternatives for final discarding, the agricultural use is one of the most convenient, because it combines disposal and recycling. However, using sewage sludge as a fertilizer causes alterations in the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soils. The soilborne plant pathogens are highly influenced by the way the soil is managed; thus, sewage sludge may interfere with the occurrence of diseases caused by these microorganisms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sewage sludge on corn stalk rot, caused by Fusarium spp.
