e0“In one orchard, replanting trees with a rootstock genotype different from the previous one can be effective in reducing ARD development, susceptibility to ARD is likely to be genetically controlled, and replanting trees in the previous grass aisle can reduce ARD development.”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect At one orchard, planting in the former grass aisle reduced apple replant disease.
- Mechanism Authors infer genetic control of apple replant disease susceptibility.
- Observation The second orchard showed opposite results, possibly linked to missing weed management in the aisle.
- Observation Rootstock-associated rhizosphere microbiota stabilized within seven months.
- Association An arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal OTU was less abundant in diseased trees.
- Method / resource Many ARD-associated OTUs could not be assigned to low taxonomic ranks.
- Recommendation The authors recommend considering genetic relationships between rootstocks when rotating them.
