Objective
This project will research methods to recycle problem plant-based wastes through controlled composting into pest and pathogen-free composts, which have a consistent value in suppressing soil-borne pathogens in organic and low-input vegetable production. The work aims to determine the mechanism of disease suppression and to enhance the efficacy of composts. The work will examine the plant growth and nutrition effects of using composted plant-based wastes in sustainable vegetable production and propagation. Controlled composting methods will be devised in the laboratory and in large-scale systems. The work of 7 science groups (plant pathology and nutrition, compost science, metabolite chemistry, agronomy) and 7 industrial partners (producers of vegetables and bio control agents and composers) will be integrated. Pathogen/crop/waste compost interactions specific to Northern and Southern Europe will be examined.
