Impact of soil management practices on soil fertility and disease suppressivenessLuciusTammauthorChristianBrunsauthorCarloLeifertauthorJacques G.FuchsauthorBarbaraThürigauthorNicoleSpechtauthorAndreasFliessbachauthorSoil management practices are targeted to provide adequate crop nutrition and to ensure durable soil fertility and to avoid negative environmental impacts. Soil management also aims to reduce pest and disease pressure on crops. Organic farming is believed to increase soil suppressiveness towards soil-borne diseases as well aerial diseases. In this paper we will discuss the potential of soil manage-ment as a tool to improve disease suppressiveness in practice.Crop health, quality, protection Crop combinations and interactions Soil biology Soil quality Soil tillage Composting and manuring2006Conference paper, poster, etc.
