Agricultural changes such as these in provinces where military personnel are injured may result in differing exposures to soil molds and may explain the geographic variation of the case-patients.
With standing water comes concerns about manure storage, pollution, livestock safety, soil erosion, mold and fungus and other plant diseases.
Seeds were carefully soaked in 98% sulfuric acid for 10 min to remove the external germination inhibitors, according to Fattahi et al. (2011) and then were cultured in plastic pots (15-cm diameter), in a mixture media containing soil, leaf mold and sand (1: 1: 2) and placed in a greenhouse at 25 ± 2°C (days) and 17°C (nights), under a 16/8 h photoperiod at 65% relative humidity.
If your potting soil shows mold growth, it is most likely confined to the top half-inch (1 cm) or so.

Use organic cinnamon powder on damp soil to prevent mold and fungus growth.
The plasmodium, with cytoplasm streaming through it, changes shape as it crawls over or within damp wood, leaves, or soil, ingesting bacteria, molds, and fungi.
Laboratory tests have shown P. semilanceata to suppress the growth of the soil-borne water mold Phytophthora cinnamomi, a virulent plant pathogen that causes the disease root rot.
The most common pathogen is the soil-borne water mold Phytophthora cinnamomi, which appears to be more problematic in cultivated plants than in wild populations.
It can be done in ordinary beds (Azevedo, 1955; Gomes, 1961; Carvalho, 1963; Melo, 1966); in "Torrões Paulistas", i.e. molded soil, clay and manure blocks in the shaped of a pot, (Azevedo, 1955; Gomes, 1961) or directly in the soil (Gomes, 1961; Valdivia, 1972; Melo, 1966).
