Detection of Invertebrate Suppressive Soils, and Identification of a Possible Biological Control Agent for Nematodes Using High Resolution Rhizosphere Microbial Community Analysis.

White clover () is the key legume component of New Zealand pastoral agriculture due to the high quality feed and nitrogen inputs it provides. Invertebrate pests constrain white clover growth and this study investigated rhizosphere-associated fungal controls for two of these pests and attempts to disentangle the underpinning mechanisms. The degree of suppressiveness of 10 soils, in a latitudinal gradient down New Zealand, to added and scarab larvae was measured in untreated soil.
