- Intervention effect The microbial consortium enhanced tomato growth and yield compared with control plants in a cold greenhouse in Sicily.
- Observation Root galls caused by Meloidogyne nematodes were observed on tomato roots.
- Intervention effect Beta diversity of root microbiota differed significantly between plants grown in treated and untreated soils for both datasets.
- Observation Alpha diversity indices of tomato root bacteria were largely unaffected.
- Association The genotype and the soil treatment by the microbial consortium affected alpha diversity indices for fungi and nematodes in tomato roots.
- Association Several operational taxonomic units were associated with the soil treatment by the microbial consortium in tomato roots.
- Intervention effect The microbial consortium alleviated damage symptoms in tomato caused by Phthorimaea absoluta and Meloidogyne spp.
- Association The microbial consortium significantly affected the microbial community of tomato roots, depending on the cultivar.
