Long term disease suppression trial at Streaky Bay

To determine if disease suppression against rhizoctonia is achievable in a grey highly calcareous soil using alternative rotational systems and crop inputs in an upper EP environment and if soil microbial populations can be influenced by rotation and fertiliser inputs.

本研究旨在验证两个科学问题：一是在EP上层环境中的灰色高石灰性土壤内，通过替代轮作系统与作物投入措施，能否实现对立枯丝核菌（Rhizoctonia）的病害抑制；二是轮作与肥料投入是否会对土壤微生物种群产生影响。
