The potato rhizosphere microbiota correlated to the yield of three different regions in Korea.

ABSTRACT: We examined potato rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities across three regions: Cheongju, Pyeongchang, and Gangneung. These regions have varying soil and climate conditions, resulting in different yields. We found that precipitation was the main limiting factor in our study while soil physiochemical factors affect bacterial and fungal microbiota in correlation with yield. Both bacterial and fungal microbiota showed distinct patterns according to the regions. ASVs positively correlated with yield were predominantly found in the Pyeongchang region which also produced the highest yields, while ASVs negatively correlated with yield were associated with Gangneung where the lowest yields were observed. The greatest bacterial and fungal diversity was detected in Pyeongchang consisting of Pr
