Abstract

Organic wastes, a primarily by-products of many industrial activities, include animal manures and olive pomace that were
used as compost. The compost-amended soils are the highly induced suppression of numbers of soil-borne pathogens. Olive pomace and chicken manure were used in this study compared to Topsin-M70 for controlling lupine wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lupini under greenhouse and field conditions, Ismailia, Egypt. In general, application of the two olive pomace and chicken manure amendments suppressed Fusarium activity in both seasons (2008/09 and 2009/10) in comparison with Topsin-M70. Under greenhouse conditions, the highest disease reduction (85.7%) and the highest percentage of healthy lupine plants (88%) were recorded due to treatment by olive pomace at the rate of 25% and chicken manure at the rate of 10%. On the other hand, olive pomace and chicken manure compared to the fungicide Topsin-M70 caused a significant increase in root length (RL), plant height (PH), number of branches/ plant (NB), number of pods/plant (NP), and single yield plant (SYP) over the control under green house conditions. The effect of olive pomace
and chicken manure on lupine wilt diseases incidence under field conditions was positive, where, crop yields and its components, i.e. PH, NB, NP and 100-seed weight (HSW) were increased in amended plots. Generally, olive pomace and chicken manure enhanced fungal pathogens suppressiveness and reduced the diseases incidence as well as increased seed yield compared to the fungicide Topsin-M70.
