  abstract = {{S}oil is a finite and dynamic living resource. {S}oil health arises from multiple interactions between physicochemical and biological components, including microbial communities, of primary importance for soil functioning. {F}acing the threat of soilborne pathogens, cultural practices, as "ecological" crop protection methods, are more and more used. {T}heir aim is to modify the soil microbial equilibrium. {I}n order to measure soil health and to propose cultural practices to improve it, it is necessary to define indicators of soil health. {T}he aim of this study is to propose indicators of soil health, through the evaluation of the impact of two cultural practices (amendment with composted cattle manure and biofumigation) on physicochemical and biological characteristics of the soil, in relation with the phytosanitary quality of a carrot crop. {M}ultivariate analyses, associated with coinertia analyses, revealed that some descriptors of the soil could be considered as potential indicators of soil health. {I}n particular, these descriptors are associated with biofumigation, which enhance the soil suppressiveness to {R}hizoctonia solani diseases. {D}escriptors could then be integrated in a minimum data set of indicators of soil health. {T}his study could be continued by the confirmation of the interest of these descriptors, the construction of an indicator, and its validation.},
