Possibilities of the use of vinasses in the control of fungi phytopathogens.
The purpose of this research was to study the biocide effect of three agroindustrial subproducts, concretely sugar beet, sugar cane and wine vinasse. Results from in vitro testing determined that wine vinasse is what shows a 100% capacity to suppress fungal growth with concentrations between 5% and 7% for Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis race 0 and 1, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Pythium aphanidermatum and Phytophthora parasitica and 10-15% for F. oxysporum f.sp. radicis-cucumerinum. On the other hand, sugar cane vinasse produced an increase at high concentrations and sugar beet vinasse showed an approximate 100% suppressor effect on fungal growth for only some of the phytopathogens tested: S. sclerotiorum (15%), P. aphanidermatum (7%), P. parasitica (15%) and F. oxysporum f.sp. radicis-cucumerinum (15%). In the soil samples analyzed none of the three vinasse extracts decreased fusaric microbiota, producing an increase in the three samples tested. This would implicitly convey an improvement in soil quality by producing a potential increase in bacterial and fungal microbiota.
