Or, your might visit soilfoodweb.com for Elaine Ingrams take on the soil
food web. It is highly probable that there is a serious biology shortage in
the soil. The predator nematodes that feed on the root feeding nematodes
are absent.

Great information!
Add lots of rock dust from rock quarries, rock phosphate, greensand,
azomite, aragonite, hi-cal lime, dolomitic lime, granular seaweed,
etc. Grow cover crops.
Also (carefully & in controlled ssituations) plant trap crops
that the Japanese beetle likes, like Pennsylvania Smartweed.
This is a very bad weed to have infest your land so use it carefully
and avoid spread of seed with vehicle tires or tillage and mowing equipment.
