Allelopathic effects of root exudates from watermelon and rice plants on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum (2010, background): “As an alternative to the application of chemical pesticides to control plant diseases, the employment of strategic cultural management practices has recently attracted widespread interest (Gan et al. 2006; Govaerts et al. 2007; Gil et al. 2008; Kong 2007).”
ROTATION IN CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE SYSTEMS OF ZAMBIA: EFFECTS ON SOIL QUALITY AND WATER RELATIONS (2010, background): “Govaerts et al. (2006) conclude from their studies in Mexico that about 30% of the maize yield increases on zero tillage fields with residue retention can be explained by higher infiltration and favourable moisture dynamics.”
