Soil-borne plant pathogens are responsible for causing many crop plant diseases, resulting in significant economic losses. Compost application to agricultural fields is an excellent natural approach, which can be taken to fight against plant pathogens. The application of organic waste products is also an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical use, which unfortunately is the most common approach in agriculture today. This review analyses pioneering and recent compost research, and also the mechanisms and mode of action of compost microbial communities for reducing the activity of plant pathogens in agricultural crops. In addition, an approach for improving the quality of composts through the microbial communities already present in the compost is presented. Future agricultural practices will almost definitely require integrated research strategies to help combat plant diseases.
土壤传播的植物病原体是造成许多作物病害的原因，导致重大的经济损失。将堆肥施用于农田是一种极好的天然方法，可以用来对抗植物病原体。有机废物的应用也是一种替代化学物质使用的环保方法，不幸的是，这是当今农业中最常见的方法。本综述分析了开创性和最新的堆肥研究，以及堆肥微生物群落减少农业作物中植物病原体活性的机制和作用模式。此外，还提出了一种通过堆肥中已有的微生物群落来提高堆肥质量的方法。未来的农业实践几乎肯定需要综合研究策略来帮助防治植物病害。
