Subject: RE: continuous soybeans



Central Alberta
I saw some interesting research a few years back. Under continuous monocrop conditions, the pathogens develop their own pathogens, and a sort of balance becomes established. By this principle, continuous soybean diseases should worsen for a few years, and then lessen as the balance of pathogens in the soil reach equilibrium.

This principle was discovered in a field where wheat had been grown continuously for 50 years. When one part of the field was rotated into another crop and then back to wheat, it had much more pathogens than the surrounding crop.
