Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Inoculation and mowing treatments increased alfalfa shoot and root dry weights versus control.
- Intervention effect Inoculation and mowing treatments increased soil available N, P and K versus control.
- Observation Rhizosphere compounds separated by treatment in NMDS analysis.
- Association Alfalfa biomass positively correlated with Trichoderma abundance.
- Association Pseudomonas abundance did not correlate significantly with alfalfa biomass.
- Association Flavobacterium abundance did not correlate significantly with alfalfa biomass.
- Association Arthrobacter abundance did not correlate significantly with alfalfa biomass.
- Association Bacillus abundance did not correlate significantly with alfalfa biomass.
- Association Agrobacterium abundance did not correlate significantly with alfalfa biomass.
- Association Actinoplanes abundance did not correlate significantly with alfalfa biomass.
- Mechanism SEM identified Trichoderma abundance and available P as primary contributors to growth promotion.
- Mechanism Trichoderma inoculation and mowing altered rhizosphere compounds and microbial communities, indirectly influencing growth.
