SOIL ORGANISMS
FIELD FOR RESEARCH. The effect of the presence in the soil of one micro-organism on the activities of others is now receiving a good deal of attention from research workers. Definite instances are known in which the presence of one disease in a plant may render it susceptible to another disease to which it is normally resistant. On the other hand, certain nonparasitic soil micro-organisms are now known to exert a definite antagonistic influence on some diseases usually carried over from crop to crop in the soil.
Farmyard manure, and green manuring, by stimulating the multiplication of soil micro-organisms, may reduce or control some of these disease organisms.
