Abstract
Soilless crops may enable the adoption of innovative control methods aimed at changing host susceptibility by modifying the availability of water and nutrients.
Varying the electric conductivity (EC) of nutrient solution (NS) as well as the adoption of silicate salt may theoretically vary the susceptibility of the host.
This study reports the results of trials carried out against Oidium neolycopersici of tomato by using potassium silicate (K2SiO3) via nutrient solution (100 ppm) and NS concentration (1.8 and 4.0 mS cm-1) delivered drip irrigation.
All trials were carried out with artificial inoculation of the pathogen.
The results confirm the beneficial effects of potassium silicate as well as of the electric conductivity (EC) of nutrient solution in the control of powdery mildew of tomato.
Among the non-conventional strategies effective to limit O. neolycopersici epidemics on tomato, the application of potassium silicate and higher EC through the nutrient solution is a promising technique.
