Introduction: The recent discovery of rotating radio transients and the quasi-periodicity of pulsar activity in the radio pulsar PSR B1931+24 has challenged the conventional theory of radio pulsar emission. Methods: Here we suggest that these phenomena could be due to the interaction between the neutron star magnetosphere and the surrounding debris disk. Results: The pattern of pulsar emission depends on whether the disk can penetrate the light cylinder and efficiently quench the processes of particle production and acceleration inside the magnetospheric gap. Discussion: A precessing disk may naturally account for the switch-on/off behaviour in PSR B1931+24.
