Broadly, two types of suppression to soil-borne plant root disease have been described: (i) general suppression in a soil is characterised by heightened overall microbial activity and a concomitant reduction in competitiveness and infectivity of the pathogen, and (ii) specific suppression is attributed to the increased occurrence of a particular organism or organisms that act via several avenues (antibiosis, antifungal, parasitism and predation) to inhibit growth of the pathogen and reduce disease incidence, or may promote plant root or shoot growth and thus reduce the effect of the pathogen (Baker 1968; Weller et al.
