Popis: Microorganisms play an enormously important role in plant disease control. As naturally occurring resident antagonists, they can be managed or exploited to achieve the desired results. They are responsible for the “crop rotation effect,” which is possibly still the single most important disease management tool used worldwide. Simply not growing the same crop in the same field more than every second or third year allows time for the resident antagonists to lower the inoculum potential of root- and many foliar-infecting pathogens of that crop below some economic threshold before that crop is again grown in that field. With the possible exception of hyperparasites of sclerotia
