Pest suppression
Mustard green manures can control soil-borne pests through the effects of crop rotation, changes in the soil microbial community, and through the action of allelopathic chemicals in the green manure crop.Mechanisms of Soil-Borne Pest Suppression
Although all the mechanisms are not well understood, there are several ways that green manures can control soil-borne pests. They can be divided up into three categories:
- Crop Rotation
- Changes in the Soil Biology (including competitive exclusion, increased predation, and interference of crop-pathogen signals)
- Allelopathic chemicals (also called Biofumigation with Brassica green manures)
You can read about these mechanisms in the publication Using Green Manures in Potato Cropping Systems.
