Microbial and organic manure fertilization alters rhizosphere bacteria and carotenoids of Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Orah'.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Orah' is one of the most widely grown citrus varieties in southern China. It has been proven that microbial and organic manure fertilization improve the yields and appearances of 'Orah' fruits. However, details regarding the mechanisms underlying the effects of combined fertilization on the agronomic traits and rhizosphere bacterial community of plants still need to be elucidated.

Results

This study compared the rhizosphere bacterial community and carotenoids of 'Orah' with (WYT group) and without (WYCK group) combined fertilization in a local orchard in Wuming town from Nanning, Guangxi, China. The WYT group was sprayed with 50 ml Strongreen and 250 g of Yumeiren five times while WYCK group did not sprayed. Combined fertilization increas
