Table 3 Description of the disease control intervention and management strategies applied by the studies included in the systematic map
Intervention/Management type | Description |
|---|---|
Cultivar resistance | Evaluation of different oat cultivars or varieties for resistance to diseases |
Pesticide application | Use of any approved pesticide (for use in the EU) for disease control, including fungicides, growth regulators and herbicides. Includes tests with different spraying rates and time points and comparisons between different pesticides |
Soil preparation | Use of agricultural practices for soil preparation (plowing, tillage, minimum tillage and no-tillage) as a disease control management approach |
Soil amendments | Use of soil fertilization for disease control (nitrogen and copper). Includes tests with different application rates and times of application |
Cultivar mixture | Cultivation of a mixture of oat cultivars for disease control management |
Inoculum level | Addition of different levels of disease inoculum to plants to assess the effects on disease development |
Seed rate | Use of different seed rates to assess disease incidence in the field |
Sowing time | Implementation of sowing at different times to control disease development |
Crop rotation | Use of crop rotation as a disease control management strategy |
Cropping systems | Comparison between different crop systems (conventional and organic systems) in terms of disease development |
Integrated crop-livestock system | Use of different integrated crop-livestock systems (agrosilvopastoral and agropastoral systems) to assess disease development in oats |
Intercrop system | Use of multiple cropping practices to assess disease development in oats |
Lodging | Assess the effect of lodging on disease development and mycotoxin content in oat grains |
Seed thermal treatment | Assess the efficacy of seed thermal treatment for oat seed decontamination |
Time of harvest | Harvest on different dates to assess oat grain quality |
