Response of Yam Yield and Soil Microbial Communities to Soil Fumigation and Substrate Cultivation

open access: yesAgriculture
Soil fumigation is considered a method to control soil-borne diseases and solve crop continuous cropping obstacles. However, fumigant residues in the soil are detrimental to soil health. Though substrate cultivation is a cultivation mode that can promote

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal families and exploration‐based guilds exhibit distinct responses to long‐term N, P and K deficiencies and imbalances

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Many agroecosystems face nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or potassium (K) deficiencies due to imbalanced or insufficient nutrient replenishment after biomass harvest. How this affects the symbiosis between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the abundance of exploration‐based AMF guilds (rhizophilic, edaphophilic and ancestral ...

Disease suppression of potting mixes amended with composted biowaste [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Peat mining destroys valuable nature areas and contributes to the greenhouse effect. This warrants the search for alternatives for peat in potting mixes. Composted biowaste could provide such an alternative.

Effects of warming on plant uptake of post‐fire nitrogen in an arctic heath tundra

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Postfire nitrogen (N) becomes increasingly important with the rising frequency of fires in arctic tundra, and climate warming is expected to accelerate plant recovery following fire. However, how plants differ in utilizing this postfire N and how their postfire N uptake responds to warming remains unknown.

NITROGEN CYCLING IN A FOREST STREAM DETERMINED BY A 15N TRACER ADDITION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Nitrogen uptake and cycling was examined using a six‐week tracer addition of 15N‐labeled ammonium in early spring in Walker Branch, a first‐order deciduous forest stream in eastern Tennessee.

Novel roles of sulfur metabolism in stress‐controlled stomata aperture regulation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Stomatal closure allows plants to conserve water by reducing transpiration during drought. Surprisingly, the assimilation of the macronutrient sulfur is intimately connected to the drought stress response. This Tansley insight will only briefly touch on the general impact of sulfate assimilation on the production of drought‐response metabolites.

High-throughput sequencing metabarcoding and network analysis elucidate the effects of soil fumigation and biostimulant on potato yield, rhizoctonia canker, and fungal community

open access: yesFrontiers in Soil Science
This study investigated the impact of chloropicrin fumigation and a Bacillus species-based biostimulant applied alone or in combination in soil of potato crop over five key time-points in season.

Ecoenzymes as Indicators of Compost to Suppress Rhizoctonia solani [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Reports of disease suppression by compost are inconsistent likely because there are no established standards for feedstock material, maturity age for application, and application rate.
