Understanding the interaction between environmental conditions, crop yields, and soil health is crucial for sustainable agriculture in a changing climate. Management practices to limit disease are a balancing act. For example, in potato production, dry conditions favour common scab ( Streptomyces spp.) and wet conditions favour blackleg disease ( Pectobacterium spp.). The exact mechanisms involved and how these...
