Soil microbiome dysbiosis and rhizosphere metabolic dysfunction drive continuous cropping obstacles of Codonopsis tangshen

Frontiers in Microbiology
Successive monocropping of Codonopsis tangshen causes continuous cropping obstacles, impairing growth, yield, and quality. To investigate the soil environmental and microbial changes caused by these obstacles, we collected both continuous cropping (C ...
