Soil biota from newly established orchards are more beneficial to early growth of cherry trees than biota from older orchards

Abstract excerpt
Growth of young fruit trees replanted into old orchard soil is often poor relative to growth in soil that has not previously been planted with fruit trees. There is evidence that a consortium of deleterious soil biota, commonly referred to as the replant disease complex, are responsible for this poor early growth. We used a bioassay, comparing cherry plant growth in sterilized and non-sterilized subsamples of soil...
