The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Crop rotational diversity increases disease suppressive capacity of soil microbiomes (2018, background): “A correlation between soil factors (silt, clay and soil nutrients) and expression of the antimicrobial genes has been observed in past studies (Postma et al. 2008, Raaijmakers et al. 2009, Imperiali et al. 2017).”
The rhizosphere zoo: An overview of plant-associated communities of microorganisms, including phages, bacteria, archaea, and fungi, and of some of their structuring factors (2009, background): “2IIIB in soils where sugar beets were grown (Postma et al. 2008).”
Manipulating the soil microbiome to increase soil health and plant fertility (2012, background): “keeps the pathogen “in check” (Garbeva et al. 2004; Maron et al. 2010; Mendes et al. 2011; Ochiai et al. 2008; Postma et al. 2008; Schnitzer et al. 2011; Shennan 2008).”
Plant diversity improves protection against soil‐borne pathogens by fostering antagonistic bacterial communities (2012, background): “This generalist pathogen can attack a broad range of host plants (Parmeter 1970; Sneh, Burpee & Ogoshi 1991) and is a convenient model to assess soil suppressiveness (Postma et al. 2008).”
