This project aimed to assess the effect of 11 soil health treatments and 2 landmanagement systems of a long-term field experiment called "Soil Health Experiment" on soil disease suppressiveness against Pythium ultimum and Rhizoctonia solani.

Disease suppressiveness was assessed in 2018 and 2019 in bioassays using field soil in which garden cress and sugar beet seedlings were grown and inoculated with P. ultimum and R. solani respectively.

In addition, soil fungi and bacteria were quantified ausing qPCR. Fungal and bacterial community composition were assessed

by Illumina amplicons sequencing in 2019.

HWC was measured in 2019 as an indicator of soil carbon in the microbial biomass.
