Agriculture and Agri -Food Canada research teams are studying organic soil amendments to improve soil health, control plant diseases, and minimize fungicide use in the control of disease outbreaks. Manures, plant by-products (ie. grain glutens), and organic by-products from the fish, food processing and ethanol (corn) industries are being investigated. Some amendments decrease potato scab, black scurf and verticillium wilt. Others increase marketable potato yield, are natural fertilizers, and have potential in organic transplant production. Liquid swine manure fertilizer also has the potential to control diseases in low -pH soil. Research continues to formulate products, bol- ster disease suppression and expand testing to include more diseases.
