Soil Microbiomes From Fallow Fields Have Species-Specific Effects on Crop Growth and Pest Resistance

Communities of microorganisms in the soil can affect plants’ growth and interactions with aboveground herbivores. Thus, there is growing interest in utilizing soil microbiomes to improve plant performance in agriculture (e.g., for pest control), but little is known about the phenotypic responses of...
