Impact of tillage intensity on arable soil microbial communities, physical parameters and plant pathogen suppressiveness

Abstract

The aim is to develop innovative and feasible agro-environmental technology for improvement of environmental sustainability of cultivation methods by increasing soil crop cover taking advantage of ecosystem services of soil microbes to suppress crop pathogens as an alternative system for chemical control. Studies were conducted at six long term experimental field sites with no-till and till treatment plots cultivated mainly with spring cereals. Four automatic continuous monitoring stations were established (2009) on two experimental fields
