disease-suppression
Disease suppression in plant science refers to the ability of certain soils and their resident microbial communities to inhibit the establishment and spread of plant pathogens in the rhizosphere. Beneficial bacteria known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) colonize root zones and outcompete harmful pathogens through direct antagonism and indirect mechanisms such as triggering plant immune responses. Understanding and harnessing these suppressive dynamics is a key area of research for developing sustainable, low-input strategies to protect crops from soil-borne diseases.
