Abstract:With the rapid development of economy and technology, intensive cultivation characterized by high input and high-frequency planting have become important patterns of agricultural production in China. With farming cultivation increasing steadily in intensiveness, such as soil-borne pathogens, soil acidification, secondary salinization, soil consolidation and so on occur more frequently, these problems often cause seriously successive cropping obstacle. Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) is an environment-friendly method, which has the characteristics of inhibiting soil-borne pathogens and improving soil physicochemical properties, convenient and easy to operator, and short processing time. It has been successfully applied to the successive cropping obstacle. Based on different crop types and soil-borne pathogens, this article summarizes the types of organic matter, application rates, temperature conditions, flooding, lamination and disinfestation effects of the RSD method.
