Soil-borne diseases can cause significant crop losses and should be tackled sustainably in agroecosystems. Increasing the capacity of soils to suppress the effects of soil-borne diseases (soil suppressiveness) is an important tool in sustainable crop production. Soil suppressiveness can be improved...
