Influence of type and dose of organic wastes on the growth, quality and incidence of pests and diseases of carrots
Frédéric Feder
IntroductionAlternatives to chemical inputs are crucial for improving agricultural production and plant health management for sustainable agriculture, particularly in tropical environments, where pest dynamics and treatment effectiveness determine crop success. Because organic waste products differ in dry matter content, nutrient release, nutrient balance, and potential biological load, they may differentially affect plant nutrition, soil functioning, crop performance, and susceptibility to pest
