Effects of rotation corn on potato yield, quality, and soil microbial communities.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Potato is an important crop that can be used both as grain and vegetable in northern China. However, the continuous cropping system of potato has led to a sharp decline in its yield and quality. As one of the effective strategies to alleviate the continuous cropping obstacle, crop rotation has received extensive attention in agricultural practices. On this basis, we have conducted an in-depth exploration of the effects of the potato-maize rotation system on the structure and diversity of the soil microbial community, aiming to analyze the internal correlation mechanism between the structure of the soil microbial community and the yield and quality of crops.

Methods

This study was based on fields that had been under potato monoculture for five years and establish
