Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect False acacia intercropping gave konjac the lowest soft rot incidence.
- Association Konjac soft rot incidence was negatively correlated with total soil nitrogen and potassium.
- Association Konjac soft rot incidence was positively correlated with total and available soil phosphorus.
- Observation Konjac root bacterial community structure and function differed among intercropping types.
- Mechanism Available soil phosphorus mainly drove differences in the konjac root bacterial community.
- Intervention effect False acacia intercropping enriched Bradyrhizobium and Variovorax.
- Association Bradyrhizobium and Variovorax abundance was negatively correlated with available soil phosphorus.
- Mechanism Stable bacterial communities in healthy konjac roots may make konjac less susceptible to pathogen invasion.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that intercropping reduced konjac soft rot incidence by regulating root bacterial community structure and stability.
