Abstract The development and implementation of sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices are
indispensable as alternatives to pesticide use and to keep populations of soil-borne plant pathogens at levels that
do not affect crop productivity. The present research evaluates the incidence of soil-borne phytopathogens on the
pineapple variety MD-2, which was subjected to different treatments: Incorporation of Crotalaria juncea into the
soil (organic amendment), application of dolomitic lime to soil (inorganic amendment), and the use of plastic
mulch covering the soil. During the crop cycle (15 months), the following variables were evaluated: plant height
(cm), fruit weight (kg·plant−1… More >
