Abstract
Recognition of the occurence of soils that suppress diseases due to soil-borne plant pathogens led to the basic concept of soil suppressiveness or as we proposed in french “soil receptivity to diseases” (Alabouvette et al 1982; Corman et al 1986; Louvet in this book). It means that the soil is not a neutral medium, hosting pathogenic microorganisms freely interacting with the roots of the host-plant. On the contrary, it is well established that the soil interferes in the relationships between microorganisms and plants as it can modify the interactions between microorganisms themselves. In other words, every natural soil possesses a greater or smaller ability to control diseases. Thus, it is not unrealistic to try to manipulate the soil environment to increase this natural biological control potential to make conducive soils suppressive.
