This project, partly funded by the Chinese Scholarship Council, is examining the effects of decomposing cover crops on the suppression of diseases caused by root-infecting fungi. The two main topics of this project are: (1) Production of pathogen-inhibiting volatiles during decomposition of cover crops, (2) Effect of decomposing cover crops on composition of microbes associated with the roots of cash crops.
