- Intervention effect Biocontrol inoculation did not improve growth of apple and sweet cherry seedlings.
- Intervention effect Compost increased soil populations of total, DAPG+ and PRN+ bacteria.
- Intervention effect Compost altered soil microbial community composition.
- Intervention effect Field compost increased sweet-cherry trunk diameter.
- Intervention effect Field bark-chip mulch increased sweet-cherry trunk diameter.
- Intervention effect Compost suppressed P. penetrans populations in the field.
- Intervention effect Bark-chip mulch suppressed P. penetrans populations in the field.

- Intervention effect Compost enhanced soil microbial activity, suppressiveness and AMF root colonization.
- Intervention effect Bark-chip mulch enhanced rhizosphere fungi, soil activity and suppressiveness.
- Intervention effect Drip irrigation increased sweet-cherry trunk diameter and fruit yield relative to microsprinklers.
- Intervention effect Drip irrigation suppressed P. penetrans relative to microsprinklers.
- Intervention effect Drip irrigation increased AMF root colonization relative to microsprinklers.
- Intervention effect Compost increased plant growth in six of twelve soil-by-compost combinations.
