- Intervention effect Intercropping increased soil bacterial and actinomycete populations.
- Intervention effect Intercropping decreased the fungal population.
- Observation Monoculture soil had more fungal FAME biomarkers and a higher fungal:bacterial ratio.
- Observation Intercropping soil had more bacterial FAME biomarkers.
- Intervention effect Intercropping increased soil invertase and alkaline phosphatase activities.
- Intervention effect Intercropping increased organic matter.
- Intervention effect Intercropping increased available N, P and K contents.
- Mechanism Authors conclude green garlic intercropping can alleviate cucumber continuous cropping obstacles through changes in soil microbes, enzymes and nutrients.
