The Role of Uncomposted Materials, Composts, Manures, and Compost Extracts in Reducing Pest and Disease Incidence and Severity in Sustainable Temperate Agricultural and Horticultural Crop Production—A Review (2004, background): “In a study on the effect of cattle manure composts on the incidence and severity of black scurf ( Rhizoctonia solani ) on organically grown potatoes, Tsror [Lakhim] et al . (2001) found that application of compost at 60 m 3 ha −1 reduced disease incidence by between 18.”
A review of the non-target effects of fungi used to biologically control plant diseases (2003, background): “Biological control agents (BCAs) are perceived to have specific advantages over synthetic fungicides, including fewer non-target and environmental effects, efficacy against fungicide-resistant pathogens, reduced probability of resistance development (Cook, 1988), and use in organic farming situation”
