Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: The reduction in diversity of the soil microbial community causes the disorder of continuous cropping. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of applying Trichoderma harzianum SQR-T037 bio-organic fertiliser (BIO) on the microbial community in continuously cropped cucumber soil. Four treatments were set: (1) control, where neither seedling nursery soil (N) nor transplanted soil (T) was amended with BIO; (2) N treatment, where nursery soil was amended with BIO (1% w/w) but transplanted soil was not; (3) N + T treatment, where BIO was added to both nursery soil (1% w/w) and transplanted soil (0.5% w/w); (4) uncropped soil, where soil was left uncropped consistently. RESULTS: A disease index of 72.2% was found for the control treatment, while the N and N + T treatments had disease indices of only 25 and 15% respectively. Analysis of the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiles showed that the bacterial communities of the N and N + T treatments were similar to those of the uncropped soil but distinct from those of the control soil. The fungal communities of the N and N + T treatments differed from those of both the uncropped soil and the control. CONCLUSION: Addition of BIO to both the nursery soil and the transplanted soil can diversify the microbial community in continuously cropped cucumber soil and thus effectively control Fusarium wilt of cucumber plants.
