Organic fertilizer application rates affect rhizosphere microbial communities and yield optimization in potato (Solanum tuberosum L. V7) by Xiaodong Han, Jing Yang, Jing Yang, Qi Li, Lan Zhang, Yuankai Li, Yaoyao Gai, Yuying Sang, Ziyi Zhang

“…BackgroundOrganic fertilizers enhance sustainable agriculture by providing nutrients and supporting microbial communities. However, optimal application rates that maximize potato yield while maintaining rhizosphere microbial diversity remain poorly understood.MethodsFour organic fertilizer levels (0, 40, 60, and 80% nitrogen replacement) were tested on potato rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities across three growth stages using high-throughput 16S rDNA and ITS sequencing.ResultsBacterial richness increased progressively with organic fertilizer rates (80% > 60% > 40% > 0), with principal coordinate analysis revealing distinct community separations and largest differentiation during tuber expansion under 80% treatment. …”
