  abstract = {{P}urpose {I}nteractions between plants and soil biota play an important role in maintaining the productivity and sustainability of agro-ecosystems, but mechanisms responsible for these interactions still are little understood. {W}e investigated the growth of different faba bean genotypes in response to soil decomposer animals in monoculture and mixed cropping system. {M}ethods {I}n a microcosms experiment, we tested the effects of cropping system (monoculture, mixture with wheat), genotypes ({S}-62, {S}-69) and soil decomposers (earthworms, collembolans) on agronomic traits of faba bean. {T}rait performance and organ biomass of faba bean were evaluated after 100 and 180 days. {R}esults {G}enotype {S}-62 performed better than {S}-69 for stem, leaf and flowering traits, but it was the opposite for bean biomass. {M}ixture with wheat reduced most agronomic traits values but not bean biomass for both genotypes. {S}oil decomposer animals only showed an impact on the {S}-69 genotype in mixture, with most agronomic traits reduced by 4.6% similar to 19.9% but bean biomass increased by 139.7%. {C}onclusions {T}he effect of soil decomposer animals on bean agronomic traits varied between bean genotypes and depended on cropping system. {E}ffects were most pronounced in the genotype allocating more resources to roots and the effects were stronger in mixed cropping systems with wheat. {T}he more pronounced effect of soil decomposer animals in mixed cropping systems was likely due to animals increasing the competitive strength of wheat, thereby suppressing a wide range of bean agronomic traits but not bean biomass.},
