Suppressing Pests and Diseases Using the Soil Food Web | Soil Food Web School

How does the Soil Food Web suppress pests and diseases? A balanced soil biome leads to a healthy plant that is covered by a protective community of beneficial microorganisms.

If you watched our video on Building Soil Structure, you’ll know that plant roots release sugars and carbohydrates that beneficial microorganisms consume. Well, the stems, leaves, and fruits of plants release those sweet “exudates” too! Beneficial microorganisms will congregate densely on plant surfaces for easy access to this food source -- meanwhile, they out-compete, crowd out, and deter disease-causing organisms.

----------
The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.

Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.
