Enhancing soil health and strawberry disease resistance: the impact of calcium cyanamide treatment on soil microbiota and physicochemical properties.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Continuous strawberry cropping often causes soil-borne diseases, with 20 calcium cyanamide being an effective soil fumigant, pig manure can often be used as soil organic fertilizer. Its impact on soil microorganisms structure, however, remains unclear.

Methods

This study investigated the effectiveness of calcium cyanamide and pig manure in treating strawberry soil, specifically against strawberry anthracnose. We examined the physical and chemical properties of the soil and the rhizosphere microbiome and performed a network analysis.

Results

Results showed that calcium cyanamide treatment significantly reduces the mortality rate of strawberry in seedling stage by reducing pathogen abundance, while increasing actinomycetes and Alphaproteobacteria during the
