Long-term orchard groundcover management systems affect soil microbial communities and apple replant disease severity (2008, background): “Fungal and bacterial communities in the apple root zone change during the decades-long lifespan of a typical orchard (Časka et al. 1982; Mazzola 1999; Rumberger et al. 2007).”
Microbial communities associated with the root system of wild olives (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. sylvestris) are good reservoirs of bacteria with antagonistic potential against Verticillium dahliae (2011, background): “For example, significant differences in rhizosphere community composition have been revealed associated with the genetic characteristics of apple rootstocks as well as soil characteristics (Rumberger et al. 2007).”
