Soil ecosystems represent an enormous untapped resource for discovering novel
microorganisms, traits and bioactive genes. Specific soils have been identified worldwide in …

Disease suppressive soils offer effective protection to plants against infection by soil-borne
pathogens, including fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, and nematodes. The specific disease …

Disease-suppressive soils are exceptional ecosystems in which beneficial microorganisms
effectively guard plants against soil-borne pathogen infections. For most disease …

Disease suppressive soils are soils in which plants do not get diseased from plant
pathogens due to the presence (and activities) of the microbes present in the soil …

Soil and root microbial communities play an important role in defending plants against
soilborne pathogens. In particular soils, defined as suppressive soils, pathogens are present …

Suppressive soils are soils in which soil-borne plant pathogens cause little or no disease
due to specific microbial activities. Exploiting disease suppressive soils to control soil-borne …

Disease suppressive soils are soils in which plant pathogens cause little or no plant
infections due to microbial activities in the soil or rhizosphere. This worldwide phenomenon …

A better understanding of the environmental factors that influence the fate and activity of
inoculants is a prerequisite for their smarter use. In this talk two studies aiming to unravel the …

Objective: This project will explore & exploit the anti-phytopathogen diversity present in
selected European suppressive soils representing a wide geographical spread. The …
