• Resumen

  • Most defined systems have identified microbial elements as the primary factors determining disease suppression, but the involvement of the soil abiotic environment is less defined. The significance of this work is that the soil abiotic environment plays a critical role in the establishment of the soil microbial community and key microbial agents that directly contribute to the prevention of soilborne diseases. We highlight the importance of the soil abiotic environment in disease suppression. Furthermore, we provide a framework for the characterization of disease-suppressing agents in artificially managed soil. These results will gradually close the gap in knowledge on soil environment-microbe interactions.
