FARMERS ARE FACED WITH AN INCREASING DEMAND FOR REDUCED-INPUT CROPS AND NEED INNOVATIVE TOOLS TO REDUCE PESTICIDEUSE AND STRENGTHEN NATURAL CONTROL OF PESTS. FARMERS ALREADY WORK TO BUILD SOIL TILTH AND FERTILITY, AND IN DOING SO ENCOURAGE SOIL BIODIVERSITY. ONE OF THEIR GOALS IS TO IMPROVE NATURAL PEST CONTROL BY GROWING PLANTS THAT CAN NATURALLY DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST INSECT PESTS AND SOIL-BORNE PATHOGENS. POPULATIONS OF INSECT PESTS CAN BE SUPPRESSED BY BOTH TOP-DOWN FORCES, SUCH AS PREDATORS AND PARASITOIDS, AND BY BOTTOM-UP FORCES, SUCH AS PLANT DEFENSES. NATURALLY-OCCURRING MICROBES IN SOILS CAN ALTER THE STRENGTH OF THESE FORCES, ULTIMATELY SHAPING INSECT HERBIVORE POPULATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, SOIL MICROBES CAN UPREGULATE PLANT DEFENSES, REDUCING HERBIVORE PERFORMANCE. SIMULTANEOUSLY, SOIL MICROBES CAN ALTER EMISSIONS OF PLANT VOLATILES, ENHANCING THE ATTRACTION OF NATURAL ENEMIES. BY MANIPULATING SOIL MICROBES THROUGH COMMON SOIL MANAGMENT PRACTICES, LIKE THE ADDITION OFSOIL AMENDMENTS, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE BIOCONTROL BY ENHANCING PLANT DEFENSES. HOWEVER, WE LACK AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW SOIL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES MAY ENHANCE HERBIVORE AND DISEASE SUPPRESSION BY ALTERING COMMUNITIES OF SOIL MICROBES. THEREFORE, WE WILL IDENTIFY SOIL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES THAT ENHANCE HERBIVORE AND DISEASE SUPPRESSION IN THE FIELD AND EVALUATE MANAGEMENT-MEDIATED SHIFTS IN MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES USING NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING TECHNIQUES. IN ADDITION, WE WILL INVESTIGATE THE CHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS BY WHICH PARTICULAR SOIL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, AND THEIR CORRESPONDING MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES, ENHANCE HERBIVORE SUPPRESSION THROUGH COMPLEMENTARY GREENHOUSE EXPERIMENTS. WE WILL DO SO USING NOVEL CHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR TOOLS TO EVALUATE EFFECTS OF MANAGEMENT ON MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES AND PLANT NUTRITIVE AND DEFENSIVE TRAITS.IN ADDITION TO EXPANDING OUR BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF HOW SOIL MICROBES MEDIATE INTERACTIONS AMONG PLANTS, INSECTS, THEIR NATURAL ENEMIES, AND DISEASE, THIS PROJECT WILL GENERATE PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FARMERS TO ENHANCE BIOCONTROL BY EXPLICITLY MANAGING THEIR SOILS.$35,006
